WINGFOILING SPOT PORTUGAL
Obidos lagoon wingfoil spot
The perfect wingfoiling spot in Portugal for beginners!
Located 1½ drive north from Lisbon, less than an hour from Nazaré, and 30 minutes from the famous surf spots of Peniche, Óbidos lagoon offers optimal conditions to learn wingfoiling and progress safely.
Flat waters – ideal for a successful learning experience! Learning to wingfoil in a lagoon is safe, easy and fast.
➜ The best period for wingfoiling in the lagoon is from April to November (more windy days, less cool water).
On the lagoon, there are 2 main spots for sailing. The spot closer to the ocean, known as the “top of the lagoon”, works well for kitesurfing but not for wingfoiling, as there isn’t enough water depth.
The wingfoil spot is further inland from the lagoon.
Features: flat water. Optimal navigation during days of Nortada (north-western wind). The wind is stronger than at the top of the lagoon (because of a venturi effect). Wetsuit needed (ideally 4/3). Owing to shells and seaweed on the spot we advise you to wear shoes.
