The Perfect Chapter, a contest that takes place on the best day of the Portuguese Winter at Carcavelos Beach, is currently monitoring a swell forecast for early next week. There is a high probability that the event will run on Monday 17 February or Tuesday 18 February.


"We’re looking at a big swell with a long period which should hit the west coast of Portugal on Monday and Tuesday. The forecast shows north winds, which are offshore at Carcavelos. Basically the ingredients we need for perfect, heavy, barreling waves, which is really what surfers and fans want to see at any surf contest,” said Rui Costa, organizer of the event.

The waiting period for the Perfect Chapter runs from 17 November 2019 to 15 March 2020. The event has a 72h call to allow surfers to travel to Portugal for the start of the event.
