Oporto Surf Camp

Oporto Surf Camp has built a family atmosphere in Praia de Esmoriz—a traditional fishing village where northern Portugal's authentic character remains intact. Twenty years of operation means refined systems: Portuguese Surf Federation and ASI certified instructors, equipment that gets properly maintained, and local knowledge of breaks that tourists never find on their own. The accommodation strategy covers everyone. The original Surf Camp is a typical Portuguese house with shared rooms, PlayStation, table football, and a garden setup with BBQ and volleyball. Oporto Surf Lodge steps up to luxury ensuite rooms and a standalone chalet. A private apartment handles remote workers and families wanting more independence while still joining daily surf sessions. What makes the northern location work is the jetty system. Beaches divided by jetties mean protection from wind regardless of direction. Spots range from mellow learner waves to proper barrels. Porto's culture, wine, and food sit 40 minutes away. Prices at local restaurants remain friendly. The bakeries are famous among returning guests. It's surf camp where "Let the ocean plan your day" actually describes how things work.
