Is surf popular in Portugal? Here not the most known sport/hobby but with the time starts to be a relatively followed activity.

Yes, we have many surf beaches, especially in central and south. I love to surf. We also have the largest known wave in Nazare:

It's popular here since the early 1990's some local surfers have been doing well in international events.

Actually in the south (especially Algarve) there aren't many surf beaches because the sea is too flat except the far western coast.
Most of the surf spots are from the Lisbon region to the north (mostly the coast of central Portugal).

Good point, there isn't that many... I have never been to other beaches past Alentejo. I surf at Costa Vicentina but that is rlly the only one I know. Other beaches that aren't even surfing beaches... during certain times get huge and dangerous waves too.

It's really surprising how frequently Portuguese surfers are met. But on the other hand, if you see continental Portugal's coastlines and the fact that the Atlantic Ocean is wetting the shores, this shouldn't be a surprise.
