LOCATION

About this Surf Resort

Overview

The facilities of the Portugal Surf Camp are located in and around Ericeira, a former small fishing village thirty kilometres north of Lisbon. Ericeira is known world-wide for its surf breaks and good waves.

The proximity to Lisbon makes it very interesting for people who like to surf perfect waves during the day and want to party at night.

The village has a long surfing tradition and every keen surfer, whether beginner or pro, will find epic waves here.

If the ocean is calm, then other activities such as yoga and pilates classes, scuba diving, fishing, snorkeling, tennis, horseback riding, cycling, kayaking and the new skate park will fill your time or you can chill by the pool or wander into town to the bars and shops.

Ericeira is a fantastic party location with several nice bars and two discotheques, of whom one the oldest of Portugal is.

Apart from surfing and lots of beach life, the closer environment of Ericeira has more interesting things and activities to offer. Old castles and churches are in the near surroundings, as well as golf courses and free climbing facilities.

Lisbon can be reached by car in about three quarters of an hour. The city is famous for its culture and notorious nightlife. Partying in Lisbon is a once in a lifetime experience! The Portuguese are quite mellow during daytime, but they turn out to be party animals during the night.

Due to its geographical position, Ericeira is blessed with some seriously sweet swells throughout most of the year. There are all-together around 20 known spots, but the whole coast is teaming with unknown spots begging to be found.

Accommodation

The Surf Villa:

The Surf Villa is located about 5 minutes’ drive from the São Julião Beach, where most surfing sessions are held.

The facility with refurbished houses from 15th to the 19th century also comprises a restaurant with bar, which is open six days a week.

Surf & Other Activities

Surfing

Portugal, in Southern Europe, shares the Iberian Peninsula at the western tip of Europe with Spain. It picks up north, west and south swells, resulting in very regular surf. Very mild climate with plenty of consistent surf and variety of breaks make Portugal the ideal location for Europeans to escape the colder northern winters. It is an excellent place to learn to surf with lots of places offering easy point-breaks and beautiful beachbreaks often sheltered from the wind by tall surrounding cliffs. It’s a real all year round European surf destination.

  • Coxos: A long, fast, hollow right-hander.  Holds big swell and is a very powerful wave but access to the water is really difficult and the currents are strong.
  • Ribeira d’Ilhas: Consistent but crowded some rips and urchins to watch out for.  A great right-hander worth getting wet for.  It can deal with a bit of wind and most swell size
  • Praia do norte: One of the most reliable waves in Ericeira.  Handles swells of almost any size and from any direction.
  • Furnas: When the swell is too big for anywhere else to work, then Furnas will have some rights off the groyne.  Peaks all over the place and the cliff shelters this break from the northerly wind.

Other Activities

Surf lessons, surf guiding, yoga and pilates classes, scuba diving, fishing, snorkelling, tennis, horseback riding, cycling, kayaking and the new skate park...all in the area
