MORE INFO, HOW TO GET THERE & FAQ
SURF CONDITIONS
Breaks directly at the main spot and at nearby spots
Buarcos
From the entire house, you can see Europe’s longest right-hand point break. Buarcos is a stunning wave that can break for hundreds of meters when conditions align and various reefs connect. The spot requires a medium to large northwest swell and is a key reason why dedicated surfers travel from around the world to Portugal. It’s not ideal for beginners but is fantastic for intermediates and pros (and offers a breathtaking view!).
Cabedelo
Just a ten-minute drive from SURFinn and directly south of the river mouth, you'll find the beautiful and expansive Cabedelo beach. This is where surf lessons take place and it's a perfect beach for all skill levels.
Along the pier in Cabedelo, you’ll find fast and hollow waves suited for advanced surfers. On the main beach, there are gentle waves ideal for beginners to catch their first rides. This is also the location of the annual Gliding Barnacles event, a vibrant mix of surf, art, music, delicious food, and fine wines.
Praia da Figueira
Figueira’s ‘main beach’ is the widest in Portugal, with plenty of sandy area even at high tide. This makes it wonderfully tranquil, even during peak season. The surf here is often calmer, making it an excellent spot for beginner surf lessons.

Activities and facilities
Portuguese cuisine is packed with delightful flavors that will truly complete your surf vacation. Cozy restaurants and bars are plentiful in the charming shopping streets and are a must-visit. The local fish is as fresh as it gets and is prepared in authentic Portuguese style—an absolute treat!
Another great spot to visit is the Santa Catarina Fortress. This historic defensive fort and lighthouse is already a stunning and historically rich site, but it’s been transformed into a beer bar, making it well worth a visit. Here, you'll find a variety of Belgian beers, among others.
JOURNEYJOURNEY
Ways to get to the camp
Traveling to Portugal for a surf holiday is easiest by plane. You can choose to fly into Porto or Lisbon, both of which are about 1.5 hours from Figueira da Foz.

This way, you can independently explore all the surf spots and take in all the region's attractions.
