Hey mate, well, I think that the water temperature is at its warmest in september, but a 3/2 full suit is a good suit to take with you if you are out for those long sessions. Ericeira (just north of Lisbon) has the best swell and most amount of breaks in one place. Supertubos is only a half hour drive from ericeira, and in the town itself, you have Pedra Blanca (white rock), the reef, and a few more that i can't remember of the top of my head. You also have Ribeira D'Ihlas which is the most consistent of the lot which is only 5 mins drive north of the town itself.
Hope this helped, I had a laugh when i went, I'm sure you will too!
