Description
Level: Beginner, Intermediate, Expert
Type: Ocean, River Mouth
Water type: Shallow, Flat, Chop, Small wave
Water hazards: None
Water quality: Clean
Infos: When the tide is low, Torre D'Aires has almost no water, so you should prefer going to the island side. If the tide is up, it's a great place to try out new things. If you want, you can go to the ocean directly on the board. If you like waves, would prefer the ocean (but the waves are not so often). And, it's soft sand all around!
Beach type & size: Sand - Big
Infos: There's lots of space all around. At the side of the island (Atlantic Ocean) you also have all the space you could want. No concrete in either cases.
Identified hazards: None
Weather specificities: Nice weather almost all year around. You can ride any time of the year. The water is at least 20C most of the year inside the lagoon and a bit colder on the ocean side of the island.
Wind type: Thermal
Wind specificities: SW: mainly from March till October with 12-16 knots. E or SE: the rest of the year with 10-14 knots. From March until October we have the SW wind that is great because it's very reliable (usually from 12-16 knots). The rest of the year we can also get E or SE wind.
Best months: March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October
Access description: by Boat - You can get to Faro Airport in the Algarve and then come in the direction of Vila Real de Santo Antnio, it's a small road to the right before getting to Luz de Tavira, called Torre D'Aires. Getting there is not easy, and either a long walk or a boat trip is needed.
