Portugal is one of the most consistent places to surf in the world. Our west coast picks up most swells, which means that during the winter months, it gets big sometimes. That's the perfect season for advanced surfers. From mid-May to October, temperatures are warmer and the waves smaller, but there will always be a spot on for every level.
Due to the number of jetties that provide variety and stability to the sandbars, Costa Caparica is one of the most consistent surf areas near Lisbon. Here, you will have access to many different breaks for all levels.
Our surf camp is in the coastal town of Costa da Caparica, located just 15 minutes away from the Portuguese capital, Lisbon: one of the best surf spots in Portugal, which boasts the perfect waves to suit surfers of all levels.
