The Azores islands have much to offer to nature lovers and surfers alike. Known above all for their natural beauty, full of beautiful landscapes, lagoons, waterfalls, and natural pools.
A mild climate all year round and several quality spots for this sport make the Azores archipelago a unique natural destination for surf lovers and for holding one of the most important championships of the WQS world circuit, which has occurred annually in Ribeira Grande, São Miguel Island.
For surfers who appreciate truly magical places and unparalleled tranquility, we suggest visiting Fajã do Santo Cristo, on the island of São Jorge, sought by practitioners of this sport from around the world and considered a surfing sanctuary for the unique characteristics of its wave.
But it’s possible to enjoy quality surfing on all islands, due to the distinct characteristics each one has to offer.
