Questions? We’ve got all the answers for the best Surf Holidays in Portugal.

Should I bring my own board?

When attending the SurfCamp Pack all the equipment needed is included. If you book Bed & Breakfast only, there’s the possibility of renting a board or other equipment that you need.

In both options, you can bring your own equipment if preferred.

Can access the surf equipment given at any time?

Yes! Once signed in, you will have access to your own surf gear for the entire time. You will be responsible for your gear, meaning you’ll have to transport it to and from the beach on the day of your lessons and return it to the shop at the end.

Why should I choose Surf Camp Porto?

Porto is one of Europe’s oldest cities and won the European Best Tourist Destination award in 2017. The top attractions include: Porto’s famous port wine cellars where you can taste the cities’ most famous export, a visit to the old Ribeira quarter by the river bank and a stroll across the impressive “D. Luis” bridge. You have a lot of excellent places to eat and drink in Porto, where you will have the chance to try a number of traditional portuguese dishes. A must-try is the famous and delicious “Francesinha” – literally ‘Frenchy’ or ‘little French girl’.

How do I book?

Book online here, or contact us. We are happy to book you in via email or on the phone as well.

What is the best time to surf in Portugal?

If you are looking for bigger waves and a more challenging Surf experience we recommend late winter to early spring, with waves typically measuring 2-4.5m or 6-15ft but that doesn’t mean summer doesn’t provide its fair share of great waves too. This time of year is more appropriate for beginners because the waves tend to be gentler measuring around 1-1.5m or 3-5ft.

Do I have transport to the Surf Camp from the airport?

Surf Hostel Porto: Porto’s international airport Francisco Sá Carneiro is only 13km away, making the hostel easily accessible via taxi or public transport. Bus stations, old-style trams (the main tourist attraction in Porto) and a metro stop are close to the hostel.

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)

I have never surfed before. Can I still attend the Surfcamp?

At Surfivor we offer beginner and intermediate classes all year round. So if you have never stood on a surfboard before, our friendly and qualified coaches will have you surfing in no time.

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.

What if I want to attend the Surf Camp Portugal on other days?

The Holiday Pack Program is scheduled specifically from Sunday to Sunday. If you want to attend the SurfCamp on other days you can purchase the accommodation and lessons individually and for as long as you want.

Besides surfing what other activities can I do?

We are committed to make your holidays a relaxed and comfortable experience as can be.

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.

What is the difference between a holiday pack and choosing the Surf classes individually?

The Surf holiday Pack is a package that includes accommodation, breakfast, free access to all surf equipment, surf lessons and amazing extra activities for a special weekly price. (Sunday to Sunday)

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.

Should I choose Porto or Esmoriz?

In terms of the locations it really depends on what kind of holiday you want: City Surf or Beach Holiday. Both camps are very sociable and our professional surf coaches always take you to the best local spots for your level.

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!
