About Leça da Palmeira
Leça da Palmeira is an exposed beach break nestled within the vibrant Porto district of Portugal, conveniently located just a 15-minute drive from the city center. This dynamic spot is highly regarded for its consistent waves, delivering excellent barrels, especially when offshore easterly winds are present. While conditions allow for surfing year-round, the waves can become quite challenging with swells exceeding 2.5 meters, making it ideal for intermediate to advanced surfers. The predominantly sandy bottom, interspersed with some rocky areas, defines this popular coastal destination.
