Questions? We’ve got all the answers for the best Surf Holidays in Portugal.
In both options, you can bring your own equipment if preferred.
Surf Hostel Esmoriz: Is only 35km away from Porto’s Airport, making it easily accessible via public transport. Guests also have the possibility to book our airport shuttle service on their arrival and departure days. (not included in the Surf Holiday Pack)
For those surfers who already have some surfing knowledge under their belt, we also offer intermediate courses, to take your skills to the next level.
Besides Surfing, you can find a wide variety of activities such as Yoga, Bicycle tours, Beach walks, City Trips, Parties and BBQ’s.
Esmoriz is an incredible location for athletes and has a very active local community. Running, cycling, football, volleyball and surfing, of course, are the most popular activities. Right next to camp is Barrinha Lagoon, a protected nature reserve with a boardwalk for walkers, cyclists, runners and photographers. Esmoriz has a surprising number of great restaurants, and a few minimarkets in case you prefer to cook at camp. Prices are very affordable and the community is warm and welcoming. We offer a weekly BBQ and Porto City Tour, and Yoga sessions during summer months.
Porto is located across the street from the ocean, with stunning views. Outside of surf lessons, you can explore the beautiful cobbled streets of Old Town, sip Port Wine on the riverside, or run and bike along the beautiful coastal path just across from our hostel. Just 10 minutes walk from the hostel is Porto City Park, the largest green “lung” of Porto and the largest urban park in the country. With 83 hectares, you will find a rural and rustic landscape with 10 miles of trails, lakes, a rich and diverse fauna and flora.
The perks of choosing the Surf Lessons individually is that you can purchase as many as you want and choose when you want to take them.
Our original Surf Camp Portugal in Esmoriz has a beach front Surf House. It is the best location and offers very comfortable rooms, some with ocean views. The atmosphere is super laid back and right next to the top surf spots in the region (including Esmoriz, Cortegaca and Espinho), which are great for all surf levels.
Porto Surf Hostel is located a bus ride from the city center and a short ride from Matosinhos Beach which is very consistent and rated one of the best beginner waves in Europe. Matosinhos beach is one of the only surf spots in the world accessible by metro!
