From the gentle waves to the warm waters and professional surf instructors, on a Beginner Surf Camp in Portugal, you’ll make the most of your time in the water.

    What to Expect on Beginner Surf Camps in Portugal

    On a beginner surf camp in Portugal, expect a well-rounded experience that combines surf lessons, relaxation, and cultural immersion.

    Expect to join daily surf classes with certified instructors who will teach you the basics of paddling, balancing on the board, and catching waves. In addition, video analysis may be available to help you refine your technique.

    Some camps may also offer yoga sessions to improve flexibility or relax after a day in the water.

    Evenings are typically relaxed, with social activities, where you can bond with like-minded people. In your free time, you can explore nearby towns and villages or just spend time relaxing on the beach.

    You’ll likely stay in surf hotels, hostels, or guest houses nearby the school. Transportation to the surf spots is typically provided. But meals might not be included, or at most, expect to be able to enjoy breakfast as part of the package.

    When it comes to choosing the best destination for a beginner surf camp in Portugal, the options are plentiful. From the sunny beaches of the Algarve to the more serene surroundings of the central coast, here are some popular places to consider for your next camp:

    In the southernmost part of Portugal, the Algarve is one of the most popular destinations for a beginner surf camp. With its golden beaches, clear blue waters, and year-round sunshine, it's the perfect place to learn how to surf. The calm waters are safe for beginners, and the consistent small to medium waves are perfect for learning. Some of the ideal beaches for beginners are Praia da Arrifana, Praia da Amoreira, and Meia Praia.

    A short drive from Lisbon, Ericeira, a UNESCO World Surfing Reserve, offers a range of surf spots suitable for beginners. Thanks to its stunning beaches, reliable waves, and vibrant surf culture, Ericeira is a must-visit for surfers. Foz do Lizandro and São Julião are two beaches perfect for beginners, with gentle, slow-rolling waves.

    The surf capital of Portugal, Peniche is well-known for its consistent waves. While it’s famous among more experienced surfers, there are beaches suitable for beginners, such as Baleal. The destination is also famous for its lively surf scene and laid-back atmosphere.

    The best time to go on a surf camp for beginners in Portugal is during spring (March to June) and fall (September to November). The weather is mild, the water temperature is comfortable, and the crowds are fewer than during the peak summer season.

    Can’t wait to learn to surf or get solid on your surfing basics? Join a Beginner Surf Camp in Portugal and have the time of your life!
