Hey guys,

just in case anyone plans to visit Europe , I used to live in Portugal - the Atlantic coast is definitely worth a check. Slightly warmer than our South coast, less sharks but more people. Wind season goes from May to September (North wind - other tack), otherwise plenty of good waves for surfing too. Morocco is pretty sick too, just around the corner and a much longer season (similar to ours in WA). My mate has a photo web site with some cool shots:

Happy season,
Pedro

Portugal and Morocco are cool, but, c'mon! Nothing compares to WA !
(Going to Taghazoute-Morocco) for a month in December god bless EasyJet and RyanAir!
Morocco is like Europe's Indo. Close, cheap, dirty, and good waves :)
