Monte Estoril is a surf spot located along the beautiful Costa Estoril. It’s known for its scenic views and generally quiet vibe, making it a decent place for those looking to catch some waves away from the more crowded spots. The surf here can be hit or miss, but it’s worth checking out, especially if you’re nearby and want to enjoy a day on the water.
The waves are mainly right-handers, breaking over uneven reefs and sand. This spot can handle swells from the west, with additional swell directions coming from the south and northwest. It works well with swell sizes from about 2 feet (0.6 meters) and is more inviting for intermediate surfers. The best time to surf here is during low to mid to high tide, especially when the wind is coming from the northeast. While the conditions can be decent, it's essential to manage your expectations as they can change quickly, depending on the day.
Monte Estoril has a relaxed environment, often less crowded than other spots along the coast. It’s a good option for surfers looking to improve their skills without too much hassle from the crowd. Just keep an eye on the swell and wind conditions before heading out, and you might find a nice session waiting for you.
