Spot guide

Surfing Fonte da Telha

Fonte da Telha is a surf beach in Costa da Caparica, Portugal.

What level is Fonte da Telha for?

Fonte da Telha has no fixed level, and that is the question Surf Booking answers every day: the same sea suits a beginner and does not suit an advanced surfer, or the other way round. On this page the sea at this beach is read hour by hour and by level — beginner, intermediate and advanced — for the next 7 days, and the verdict is this beach's, not the region's.

What is the bottom like at Fonte da Telha?

The bottom is sand. It is the most forgiving bottom for learning and for wipeouts, though the sandbanks shift through the year.

When does Fonte da Telha work best?

Fonte da Telha is an exposed beach that picks up much of the Atlantic swell, so it works often through the year. It is usually best with swell from NW-W. The beach faces West.
