Lagoa de Óbidos
Portugal · Leiria
What riders say
Stronger currents appear near the channel and the mouth, to be avoided especially for beginners.
The presence of shallow sandbanks exposes to board or fin touches at low tide.
In summer, it is necessary to respect the swimming zones prohibited for kiting to avoid any conflict with bathers and authorities.

The lagoon of Lagoa de Óbidos, at Foz do Arelho, stretches between the Atlantic Ocean and wide sandbanks. You navigate with the white houses of Foz on one side and the hills covered with pines and eucalyptus on the other, in a very calm atmosphere outside of summer.
It is a spot appreciated for its shallow waters and consistent wind, fueled by the Nortada in the afternoon. Between the inner area near Bom Sucesso and the mouth on the ocean side, riders find both flat water to progress and accessible waves to vary their sessions.
