Sagres, Portugal
Our home base is Sagres – the laid-back surf town at the edge of Europe, where two coastlines meet and the waves keep rolling all year.
We teach mainly at Praia da Mareta in Sagres and Praia do Amado in Carrapateira – two of the Algarve’s most consistent and beginner-friendly surf spots, each offering ideal conditions depending on the wind and swell.
Thanks to the unique geography of the Sagres area, we can adapt to wind and swell, choosing the best beach each day to give you the safest and most rewarding surf session.
Waves all year long?
Yes. You're in the right place.
Need to bring surf gear?
Nope. we’ve got you covered
Selling beach wear too?
Yes. we got the good stuff.
Mild winters, sunny skies, and consistent Atlantic swells make the Algarve a true year-round surf destination. Whether you're coming for summer sun or winter waves, we’ve got the gear and the local knowledge to make it work.
