Traveling after Christmas - Teens Boys

Hi, we are visiting Portugal after Christmas with teen boys (14 & 16) who like surfing but definitely aren't experts. Trying to enjoy as much as we can considering the weather and with a good mix of activities and culture. We want to stay busy - all feedback welcome on the itinerary below (including whether we should go up to Porto fora couple days rather than Algarve)! Here we could see some football.

27-Dec Lisbon, Drive to Sintra, Sleep in Peniche
28-Dec Peniche Day trip to Nazare and Obidos, Sleep in Peniche
29-Dec Peniche Surf, golf , Sleep in Peniche
30-Dec Algarve Drive South, Visit Evora, Head to Algarve, Sleep in Albufeira
31-Dec Algarve Explore Algarve, NYE, Sleep in Albufeira
1-Jan Drive Back to Lisbon, Castle of George, Sleep in Lisbon
2-Jan Enjoy Day in Lisbon, Cooking Class or Food Tour, Sleep in Lisbon
3-Jan Fly out of Lisbon

Thank you so much for all of your guidance!

I would check with the Peniche locals about surfing in December. The average air temperature is in the 50s. It is famous for the Waves, if the boys don't feel prepared to surf, maybe they can watch some brave souls. I suspect they might wear something like drysuits? Sounds like a great adventure!
