Due
to the attractive climate water-skiing is a popular sport especially
in the south of Portugal. The impressive size of the Atlantic Ocean
would at first question the number of times that the sea conditions
would be favourable for this sport. Surprisingly, throughout the
year and even in the winter months, there are many days of each
month when the conditions are very attractive. Naturally in the
summer months the conditions are even better and especially
early and late in the day when it can present a mirror surface.
Inland,
man made Dams and rivers also present some good water-skiing areas.
Words of warning in that some of the Dams do not permit boats with
any form of engine to be used due to the risk of water pollution.
The
Beach Sport Centres that can be found on the more popular beaches
often have facilities for hire. If you are using your own boat it
is important to note that the Portuguese authorities have the necessary
regulations and rules relating to security and awareness. |
