With the arrival of storms and great swells of winter, our search for the most sheltered beaches also begins, which cause the waves to refract and allow us to enjoy them even on the most challenging days.
Surfers and Surf Schools look for these solutions, which often leads to a large load of practitioners in these locations. Praia da Torre, in Oeiras, is a clear example of this overload. With relatively small dimensions and located in an area of high population density, Praia da Torre quickly fills up with practitioners on the days of greatest swell. This excess load, as always, has led to an increased sense of danger in the water.
It is important that everyone contributes to reducing this risk, surfers and Surf Schools must actively communicate with each other, to find solutions for coexistence among all. To this end, it is important that all users are aware of which Surf Schools are authorized to provide their services at each beach. In the case of Praia da Torre, the list of licensed Surf Schools is public and is available on the website of the Port Authority of Lisbon, which is currently as follows:
