Yes. The Santa Cruz Surf Camp is suitable for complete beginners as well as intermediate surfers. The local beaches offer sandy beach breaks with consistent waves, and surf lessons are organised in small groups based on skill level and ocean conditions.

The surf camp package typically includes surf lessons with certified instructors, accommodation near the beach, surfboard and wetsuit, and daily surf spot selection based on conditions. You can save money with the Surf &Accomodation packages. Thanks to a good relation with our partners, the Surf & Accomodation packages are cheaper than if I rent accomodation separated from surf lessons. Optional transfers from Lisbon Airport or Lisbon city can also be arranged.

Absolutely. Over 70% of our guests arrive independently. Our communal dining and shared living spaces are specifically designed to foster a community of 18–35-year-old travellers and digital nomads.

What is the best time of year to join a surf camp in Santa Cruz, Portugal?

Surf camps in Santa Cruz operate year-round. Spring to autumn offers warmer weather and consistent beginner-friendly waves, while winter provides more powerful Atlantic swell also suitable for begginers and intermediate surfers on our surf & explore programs. In the winter we surf many different spots in the west region, with lessons adapted to daily conditions.
