I was a participant in surf&yoga camp early September and to say it was a great experience is an understatement. I basically loved everything about the camp – the whole place, the spots our instructors took us to, and – talking about the surf instructors – the patience they had with the less talented students (😅), huge variety of yoga sessions, and last but not least – the food there omg!
 “My daughter took 6 surf lessons and it was her best surf experience so far. Depending on the conditions day by day the best beach was chosen: Meia Praia, Arrifana or Amoreira. We also took family Stand Up Paddle tour around Ponta de Piedade one early morning when sunrise light was the best to visit the caves. Many thanks to Angel from Algarve Watersport for taking care of us and tutoring during surf lessons and SUP tour.”
 “Unbelievable place to learn surfing! The instructors are patient and knowledgeable, and the atmosphere is so welcoming. I can’t wait to come back next year!”
SURFING PARADISE IN ALGARVE
The south coast of the Algarve offers one of the greatest spots for surfing. Depending on the swell we choose the best spot for our lessons between beaches near Lagos or West coast spots like Arrifana or Monte Clerigo. Our multilingual and qualified instructors will make you feel safe during a surfing lesson and motivate you with their passion for the sport. We provide wetsuits, big boards, and smiling instructors, everything to help you to learn, progress, and have fun at the same time.
Come and surf the waves with us!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
For season 2024, we also turn every watersport camp into a yoga camp! Daily Yoga lessons will be scheduled in the morning and afternoon so every camp member can join the yoga outside their chosen watersport. Since we set the timing for our classes to get the best condition, Yoga timing will be set around it every week so everyone can do at least one yoga daily.
There will be no yoga on Sundays.
The Surf conditions
- consistent all-year Atlantic swells
- lots of different beaches and reef breaks
- huge swell window at the south and west coast
- wind protected surf spots
A great number of beaches and wind-protected bays, the warm climate, and the consistent Atlantic swells make it a perfect all-year surfing destination. The summer is great for beginners and intermediate surfers because the waves are not as powerful. The winter is the best time for seasoned surfers as the ocean delivers strong winter swells, which result in wave faces regularly higher than 6-8 feet.
Unfortunately, we are unable to offer single rooms. However, don’t worry, our double rooms provide the opportunity to share with a motivated camp guest. This option not only allows for the exchange of experiences and stories but also the chance to forge new friendships. Sharing a room creates a friendly and communal atmosphere that enhances the camp experience. Enjoy the company of a like-minded fellow traveler and let’s create unforgettable memories together!
For logistics and safety reasons, you can only use the equipment during our lessons. But believe us, after 1.5 hours in the water for a few days, you won’t have the energy for extra surfing! :D
Of course, there is a possibility of joining more lessons or renting equipment if the instructors allow it, but this decision is made day by day at the camp.
You can book directly in our booking system or send us a booking request through our website (link here). We will always answer promptly, usually within a couple of hours.
On either of ways, we will ask for prepayment to secure the spot.
The best way to get to our awesome camp in Lagos is to fly to one of these three airports: Faro, Lisbon, or Sevilla.
You can take a private shuttle, bus, or train from Faro Airport. We recommend taking a bus from Lisbon and Sevilla either from Redeexpressos or Flixbus.
If you are traveling in a group, we recommend checking out local car rental deals to be more mobile and experience the most of the Algarve when not surfing or kitesurfing.
Your little ones are warmly welcome from the age of 7, provided they are comfortable in the water, good swimmers, and able to speak English.
For children aged 7 to 12, we can only offer private or semi-private lessons (if you have two kids) to ensure they receive the best care and attention from our instructors, ensuring their safety.
Depending on their height and prior experience, we might be able to include them in a group lesson from age 10, though we still recommend private or semi-private lessons for maximum attention and enjoyment. To ensure smooth operations, we kindly request that children up to the age of 16 are accompanied by an adult. Our utmost priority is to ensure that everyone has a fantastic time and feels safe throughout the experience!
For Kids we also offer accommodation discounts so if you are planning family holiday in our surf camp please send us an request or email so we can prepare you a personalized offer.
