Welcome to Praia de Mira, a hidden gem on Portugal’s coastline, just one hour south of Porto. Known for having the world’s longest continuously awarded Blue Flag Beach, it’s a place where unspoilt nature, uncrowded waves and just the right amount of nightlife come together.

Praia de Mira is a place where nature and nightlife go hand in hand. Whether you are in the mood for a sunset drink with live music at one of the beach bars, or a quiet evening under the stars, you will find the perfect balance of energy and relaxation.
Here, life moves at your pace - active when you want it, peaceful when you need it.

CAMP OPERATOR

At Yume Surfcamps, we want to do things differently! We’re not just creating another large, anonymous camp where people come and go every week. Instead, we’re building something more authentic!

As founders of Yume Surfcamps, Justus and Philip will be on-site, working alongside their amazing team to ensure a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Justus grew up in the Swiss Alps, skiing and snowboarding from the moment he could walk. Philip, on the other hand, was raised on the Canary Islands, spending his childhood surfing the waves. Together, they’ve spent many years working at surf camps across Portugal, France, and Spain—and they know exactly what it takes to create an unforgettable week by the sea.

Whether you're looking for adventure, relaxation, or a sense of community, this is a place to connect with new friends and enjoy surfing like never before. Whether you're a beginner or already have experience, we make sure it’s fun for everyone.

Step away from your routine, join our community, and experience the joy of surfing in a laid-back and welcoming environment. We can’t wait to share this journey with you!

SURF COURSE AND ACTIVITIES

SURF COURSE DETAILS

---

 At Yume Surfcamps, you’ll be guided by highly skilled instructors who combine years of surfing expertise, competitive experience and professional training. All our surf instructors are certified surf coaches and lifeguards who meet the highest legal and safety standards, ensuring you're always in good hands.

Classes are kept small, with a maximum of 6-8 participants per group, depending on the level. This allows our instructors to provide personalized coaching tailored to your needs. Lessons are conducted in English, but as many of our instructors are multilingual, there’s a good chance you can be taught in your native language.

Our instructors carefully assess daily surf conditions to choose the best spot with the ideal waves for your level, creating a safe and supportive learning environment. With their expertise, you’ll develop essential skills while having a lot of fun, whether you're catching your first wave or mastering more advanced techniques.

SURF CONDITIONS

---

Breaks directly at the main spot and at nearby spots

We teach at a sand/beach break that is ideal for all skill levels. The break offers a friendly, forgiving environment good for beginners, while still challenging enough for more experienced surfers. 

If the waves at one peak aren’t quite right for you, just walk up the endless shoreline to find the next perfect one!

Plus, our camp is just a short 3–4 minute walk from the beach, so you’re always close to the waves.

Seasonal conditions

During the summer months, Praia de Mira experiences warm and pleasant air temperatures, with average highs around 25°C in July, August and September. The Atlantic Ocean waters remain refreshingly cool during this period. These conditions are ideal for the surf, as the cooler water provides a refreshing contrast to the warm air, allowing extended sessions. The area benefits from calm wind patterns in summer, contributing to well-formed waves suitable for all skill levels.

Crowd factor and local people

Praia de Mira is a hidden gem, offering a much quieter surf experience compared to the crowded spots in the Algarve or around Lisbon. Because it’s still somewhat off the radar, you’ll find plenty of space in the water, making it easy to catch waves without the usual hustle. The local surfers are friendly and welcoming, and the overall vibe—both on the beach and in the water—is relaxed.
