The Basque Country is one of those places that’s been touched by magic. San Sebastian is the epicentre of Basque Culture, food and world class surf that rightly sits atop travel lists everywhere. That’s why the San Sebastian Surf House is about the full experience! We welcome surfers of all levels, travellers, and yogis far and wide to call our slice of paradise their home away from home. Here, you will find an experienced team of surf and yoga instructors, an instant family of like-minded internationals, unlimited beer and sangria, amazing chef-prepared food, and a stunning view. Come and experience Spain to the fullest.
What was once an active traditional farmhouse is now transformed into a surfer's haven. The Surf House is uniquely situated in one of Europe's most stunning nature reserves - Pagoeta, with panoramic views overlooking the North Atlantic ocean and basque countryside. The new surf house offers a hub for like-minded travelers from all around the world to surf the picture-perfect summer waves of Playa Zarautz.
Your accommodation will be in a dorm room of San Sebastian Surf Camp Surf House.
This is a guide itinerary, but not like a school camp itinerary - quite the contrary. This will give you an idea of what a day might look like for you at San Sebastian Surf Camp. There’s always something for you to do, but it's your holiday so feel free to lay on the beach, have a beer or go on an adventure with your new campmates instead. Plans are always subject to change. They find the best time to surf during the day, depending on swell and tide you can be surfing anytime. If the swell is not right, they can postpone it for another time or find a new activity participate in.
Wake up to a homely cooked breakfast down in our chillout area and exchange stories from last night’s antics, read the surf report and get excited to head out surfing.
Jump in our surf bus and enjoy the ride down through the national park to the beach, grab your board and either scout out the best banks on the beach or head into your lesson with one of our surf instructors.
When your all surfed out, you’ll either have lunch in the sunshine at the beach together or head back up to the house for a hot lunch and a cold sangria. If you’re feeling bendy, join a yoga class on the yoga deck, you could head out hiking, go into town and explore, join in on a Spanish class, head back down to the beach for another surf (non-supervised), or just relax!
In the afternoon, you will most likely find yourself hanging out at the house watching the sun go down and sharing stories or becoming lord of the ping pong table.
If you’re the sensible type you can get in a good night’s sleep and be up bright and early for sunset yoga and breathtaking views out over the valley. If some more drinks, music and exploring sound more like you, then either join us on a pintxos tour in zarautz or San Sebastian, a trip to a traditional basque cider house or maybe even one of the many festivals that may be on during your stay.
San Sebastian Surf Camp will explain the dynamics of the ocean and analyze the current conditions you will be surfing in. They will explain surf safety and the correct techniques used in entering the ocean, paddling, catching waves, and standing up.

The yoga sessions can be anytime during the day depending on the surf conditions and tide. You will either perform yoga in the morning before the surf or after the surf lesson in the afternoon.
