Program
Surfing
You do not need to walk or drive far to surf amazing waves. Esmoriz is surrounded by many different uncrowded surf spots. All the surf spots are beach breaks with nice white sandy beaches. They have spots for all levels, from mellow waves to tube rides. The beaches are divided by jetties. Therefore, you always have protection from the wind.
It is perfect for beginners to learn as well as for intermediate and advanced surfers to set their surfing to a new level. Portugal’s North-West coast has a consistent swell all year round. This in combination with many uncrowded and untouched spots makes this the perfect place to surf.
Surf school
The school offers surf lessons for all ages. It provides lessons for beginners as well as for the more experienced surfers and advanced surfers. Their passion is to help you improve your surfing skills and knowledge of the ocean and to show you its lifestyle. All of the instructors have the required credentials (achieved by the Portuguese Surf Federation and the ASI) and wide knowledge and experience in surfing on the educational level as well as in competing. With over 20 years of experience, the instructors will advise, help, and teach you according to your needs and level and keep safety high.
How it works
After breakfast, the team will pack the surf mobiles and look for the best surf spot of the day. Sometimes it is your home beach and you can walk there, but the team also likes to show guests other surf spots so you get to see more of the surroundings, learn how to read the waves, and learn to decide if it is good for you to surf. Surfing is not just a sport, it is more than that. Before you realize it, you also learn a lot about nature, about low and high tides, wave periods, currents, and wind conditions.
Before you know it is the ocean that will start planning your day. When everyone is tired after the first session, the team likes to take everyone for lunch to typical lunch restaurants where you can have a complete meal with drinks for around 10 to 15 EUR. After lunch, a little siesta, and then you check the waves again for the ones that still have power in their arms. To finish the day, they like to watch beautiful sunsets with a drink, and if they are in the right mode, they will hit the dance floor.

Emma Wouterson
I went on holiday to Oporto Surf Camp for the first time when I was 15 years old, together with my family. It completely made me fall in love with surfing and with the surf camp. Pedro created something very special and unique here. Oporto Surf Camp is a place where you don't just come for a holiday, but a place where you become a part of the family. On top of that, you spend hours in the ocean and have unforgettable parties. Trust me, you will not find this experience very soon at any other surf camp. Now I'm living my dream, working here as a surf instructor!
Pedro Belo
Pedro started surfing about 30 years ago in the North of Portugal. His parents always took him and his brother on holiday to Peniche where he saw people surfing for the first time and he got very curious. It’s now 9 years ago that he started Oporto Surf Camp. After working many years as a surf teacher and helping organizing surf championships in Portugal, he wanted to show and share the great uncrowded waves in the North of Portugal with others. When you give surf lessons it’s great to see the happiness of the guests when they catch their first waves.
Jan Anne Kloosterboer
At first, Jan came to Oporto Surf Camp as a guest through mutual friends of the camp. During his stay, he fell in love with the vibes, the ocean and surfing. The small crowds, friendliest locals, good food, cheap beers, and fisherman’s parties... No wonder he stayed around after his first visit. Now, Jan is very excited to spread the hype as a surf teacher this summer.
Joao Henriques
João is a local who grew up in Esmoriz, spending most of his time in the ocean. He started with bodyboarding as a kid, then switched to surfing as an adult and never looked back. João was a lifeguard for seven years at most of our surf spots and is still a member of the Sea Rescue Team of Esmoriz, so you can rest assured about your safety. João also took a gap year to travel the world, discovering a passion for exploring and meeting new people. This led him to join Oporto Surf Camp, where he combines his love for surfing and travel, doing what he loves, where he loves, with the people we love.
