Traveller notes on Nazaré in September
Other months in Nazaré
Nazaré's forum is consistent that this stretch of Atlantic coast runs noticeably cooler and breezier than southern Portugal, even in July — genuinely fresh compared to the Algarve or Lisbon, with wind a near-daily feature both day and night. Regulars note the beach season here doesn't fully kick into gear until late July, and a light jumper for the evening is worth packing regardless of the month.
