The surf camp is located in Carcavelos, Portugal. Carcavelos is the main destination where the people from Lisbon come to surf. It is perfectly located between Lisbon, Cascais and Sintra, a few steps from the best beaches on the Estoril Coast.
Carcavelos was one of the first breaks to be surfed in Portugal and due to its proximity to the center of Lisbon it`s usually very crowded. It’s fairly consistent surf throughout the tide and works with a wide variety of conditions. The predominant north / north east wind blows offshore here, making it a good option when the surf is too big and the wind too hard at the Ericeira / Peniche coastline.
Waves
This beach break offers rights and lefts for rides up to 150 meters on a good day. The best swells come from the south, and the waves are ridable from one to a little over two meters. It’s best at mid-tide. The lineup and the beach do get incredibly crowded, especially on the weekend, since Carcavelos is great for expert and beginner surfers alike. If you do know what you’re doing and need space, the nearby Parede offers a much more challenging rocky bottom break that’s perfect when the swell’s in.
