Nice Way Hostel and Surf Camp (Cascais, Portugal) ★★★

We have two main surf spots next to us, Guincho and Carcavelos, both of them are 15 mins ride from our Surf Camp. In the low season we have one daily transfer and on the high season two daily transfers to the spot with the best conditions. Both of the spots are well served with public transports access. Carcavelos is a 20 min train ride and Guincho a 20 min bus ride.
Both of the spots are good for all the levels.

From June to September we have mostly north swells making Guincho the best option once is exposed directly to the ocean. During this month’s Carcavelos is pretty much flat.
From October to May we get bigger swells from NW and E. This time of the year both breaks have waves pretty much every day, but Guincho became an only expert break, once those bigger waves create demanding insides and big waves.
Weather wise, Portugal has a lovely weather. From Mat till October expect a sumerish time getting his peak in temperature From July till September. The coldest months are December and January with a temperature average og 16ºC.
The water temperature changes between 15ºC-19ºC making the use of wetsuit mandatory all year round. From June till October a 3/2mm wetsuit is enough the rest of the year a 4/3mm is a better option.

Our surf camp is centrally located in one of the best surf areas in Portugal and the best one around Lisbon. That means that the crowds are a reality all year round. However, there's no "localism" and the atmosphere in the line-up is quite friendly.

Small shopping centre with cinema 10 minutes walking distance.

City centre 10 minutes walking distance.
Bars and nights club 15 minutes walking distance
