SURF COURSE AND ACTIVITIES
SURF COURSE DETAILS
We don’t 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. We have spots for all levels, from mellow waves till tube rides.
The beaches are divided by jetties. Therefor we always have protection from the wind. It’s really perfect to learn for beginners as well as 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!
We offer surf lessons for all ages. We provide lessons for beginners as well as for the more experienced surfers and advanced surfers. Our passion is to help you improve your surfing skills and knowledge of the ocean and to show you it’s lifestyle.
All our instructors have the required credentials (achieved by the Portuguese surf federation and the ASI) and a wide knowledge and experience in surfing on educational level as well as in competing. With over 20 years of experience, our instructors will advice, help and teach you according to your needs and level and keeping the safety high.
OTHER ACTIVITIES

MORE INFO, HOW TO GET THERE & FAQ
SURF CONDITIONS
Breaks directly at the main spot and at nearby spots
After the breakfast we will pack our surf mobiles and look for the best surf spot of the day. Sometimes it’s our home beach and we can walk there but we also like to show our guests other surf spots so you get to see more of the surroundings as well and learn how to read the waves and how to decide if it’s good for you to surf. Surfing is not just a sport, it’s more than that, before you realize you also learn a lot about nature, about low and high pressure, wave periods, currents and wind conditions.
Before you know it’s the ocean that will start planning your day.
When everyone is tired after the first session we like to take everyone for lunch to typical lunch restaurants where you can have a complete meal with drinks for about 6 euro. After the lunch a little siesta and then we check the waves again for the ones that still have power in their arms.
