About the beach

Guincho

Beach exposed to wind and swell, between the dunes and the Sintra hills, popular for windsurfing and kiting. Works on several tides. Strong rip currents and backwash: without a school, it is for experienced surfers.

Surfing Guincho

Guincho is a surf beach in Cascais, Portugal, with 1 surf school.

What level is Guincho for?

Guincho 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 Guincho?

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

When does Guincho work best?

Guincho 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.
