Want to catch the perfect wave while being surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty? Seeking a surfing experience that blends adventure with relaxation? Or perhaps you’d like to immerse yourself in a vibrant local culture while elevating your skills in the water? If you’re excited about any of these, a Surf Camp in Mafra might be calling your name.
Surf Camps provide the ideal mix of learning, improving, and diving headfirst into the thrill of the surf culture. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced surfer, these experiences offer an environment where you can hone your skills, surrounded by like-minded adventurers.
Why Mafra? It’s probably the best-kept secret for surfers looking for an authentic, less-crowded surfing getaway in Portugal. Nestled along the stunning western coast and part of Greater Lisbon, this charming town has everything you need for a thrilling and authentic surfing adventure!
Around Mafra, you'll find spectacular beaches with waves for surfers of all levels. Plus, the surf schools are top-notch, with expert instructors who will guide you through every turn and drop.
But Mafra isn’t just about the waves - it’s a place where you can soak in culture and history. Imagine starting your morning in the water, spending your afternoon strolling through quaint villages, and evenings indulging in local cuisine and soulful fado music. And when hunger strikes, feast on Bachalau à Mafra (salted cod prepared with onion, garlic, and olive oil), Caldeirada de Peixe (a fish stew made with potatoes, tomatoes, onions, and herbs), and Tarte de Mafra (a local dessert which features almonds, eggs, and sugar).
When you’re not in the water, make sure to visit the magnificent Mafra National Palace or take a day trip to Sintra. Obidos, Cascais, Setubal, and Lisbon are also close by and great places to explore.

The beaches around Mafra are, without a doubt, a surfer’s paradise, offering a variety of spots suitable for all skill levels. One of the most popular is Praia de Ribeira d'Ilhas. Part of the Ericeira World Surfing Reserve, it’s a world-class surf spot that regularly hosts international surf competitions. This beach is ideal for intermediate and advanced surfers who want to challenge themselves with powerful waves.
If you’re a beginner, Praia do Sul is a great spot, offering small and medium-sized waves, perfect for practicing your skills. Plus, Praia da Foz do Lizandro and Praia de São Julião provide beautiful, less crowded beaches where you can enjoy the waves in peace.
Wondering when you should plan your trip? While surfing is great all year round in Mafra, choosing the best time to book a Surf Camp here depends on your skills. If you’re a beginner, late spring to early fall (May to September) is a great choice. The waves are smaller and ideal for learning. But if you’re intermediate, you’d want to visit in spring (March to May) and fall (September to November), when the waves increase in size and intensity. And advanced surfers will love winter (December to February), which brings larger waves and challenging conditions, ideal for pushing your limits.
