LOCATION

OPORTO SURF CAMP - THE SURF HOUSE

In the North of Portugal you still feel a warm welcome. It’s less touristic then the Algarve. You will find authentic little fishing villages, simple but delicious restaurants and also not very unimportant, long unexplored sand beaches. Also the prices of the restaurants, cafe’s and bakeries are still friendly. Once here you can really enjoy your holiday, no cooking, no dishes, just surfing & relaxing.

Oporto Surf Samp is located in a picturesque and traditional fisherman’s village, Praia de Esmoriz.
Everything you need for your holiday is on walking distance. (ATM, pharmacy, some shops, supermarket)
The marvelous bakeries, famous around our returning guests, restaurants to try out every night something different like traditional Portuguese plates, Brazilian rodizio, Italian food, tapas, fresh fish dishes or the famous take away chicken ‘Frango Piri Piri’. And of course some nice bars to enjoy a Super Bock beer.

Places to visit

Climate

The north of Portugal is located along the Atlantic ocean and therefore has a sea climate with mild winters (16 C˚) and warm summers (27˚) with a nice seabreeze. The water temperature varies between 15 c˚ and 20 C˚.

 

Getting around

The airport of Oporto (OPO – Sa Carneiro Aeroporto) is the nearbiest airport. This airport is only a 40 minutes drive from Oporto Surf Camp.
You can also fly to Lisbon airport. There is a good high speed train connection from Lisbon Oriente train station to Esmoriz. There is one stopover and takes about 2h50m.
We can pick you up from the train station of Esmoriz for free. Please inform us about the estimated time a day before so we can make sure one of us is there to pick you up.

RIDE THE WAVE OF YOUR LIFE

THE SURF & SURF SCHOOL

"WE LOVE TO GET YOU STOKED"

The surf

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!

The surf school

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.

How we work

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 10 euro. After the lunch a little siesta and then we check the waves again for the ones that still have power in their arms.
