Activity description

Being split up by experience levels means you will progress easily thanks to the experienced surf instructors, who'll help you move towards becoming an independent surfer. It doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner or you can already ride some waves, you will definitely be able to improve your skills, learn some theory, and have a great time.

The Praia de Matosinhos Beach is the largest beach with easy access from central Porto. Matosinhos Beach has two different surf spots, one is a beach sheltered by a large breakwater, which makes it a good option in massive swells. The other is a much more consistent wave and best at lower tide, and these will be the waves that you will start your learning.
