Week-long packages combining daily coaching, accommodation, and the best waves in Europe. Show up, surf, improve, repeat.
A surf school gives you a 2-hour lesson. A surf camp gives you a week of immersion - daily sessions matched to conditions, video analysis, like-minded people to surf with, and local knowledge you can't get from a day trip. In Ericeira, that means surfing different breaks every day as the swell and wind shift along the coast.
Most camps include accommodation, breakfast, equipment, and 2-3 hours of coached surfing per day. Some add yoga, fitness, and cultural activities. Prices range from €400-900 per week depending on the level of accommodation and coaching.
Compare prices, dates, reviews, and what's included across every camp in town - with free cancellation on most packages.

You don't need to be an athlete, but surfing is physically demanding. Paddling uses muscles you didn't know you had. Basic swimming ability is required. If you can swim 200m comfortably, you're fine for beginner sessions.
Most surf camp guests arrive solo. That's the whole point - you join a ready-made group of like-minded people. By day two, you'll have surf buddies for the rest of the week. Camps are designed for exactly this.
