Sea conditions for the next days

There will be a tight schedule for dolphin watching in Lisbon this next week. Saturday 2nd will be by far the best day to book a dolphin watching tour in Lisbon area (Cascais also). As the other days will have wind blowing from the south with +3m high waves (our coastal configuration can’t shelter winds&waves coming from the south).

If the forecast for Sunday 3rd improves a little bit we’ll have fair conditions to go to the Sea, as well. Tuesday 5th and Wednesday 6th are looking promising for the next week.
