Overview

The Surfcamp is a “real” surf camp – a cozy villa where you feel immediately at home. The sandy beaches around the surf camp are among the most popular surf beaches in Europe – there you will find ideal conditions for surfing, moreover we are preferred here in the south of Portugal compared to the north by much warmer air and water temperatures. Many surfers therefore choose this region.

The surf camp is located on the southwest coast of Portugal. Here the Algarve shows its most beautiful side: impressive sandy beaches, breathtaking cliffs, sleepy villages, fragrant eucalyptus forests… After an intense day of surfing, you will hear the sea rushing on our terrace in the evening – a real dream for every surfer.

Surf

During the surf course from Monday to Friday (approx. 20 hours – depending on the prevailing wave and weather conditions), our surf instructors will be your constant companion and will take you to your destination as quickly and efficiently as possible – regardless of whether it is the first ride in the White water or your first tuberide is, here you will almost always find good conditions for surfing!

In addition to practical lessons, there is of course also “important” theory, where you will learn everything about waves, currents, wind, tides, material, safety, driving rules, driving technique and much more. Outside the course time, the surf material is available for free. Nearby you will find restaurants, a disco, bars (also the legendary Piranha Bar) and a supermarket… If you still have enough strength in the evening, then you can also plunge into the nightlife in Lagos.
