Surf year-round

Surf Lisbon, season by season

The best season depends on you. Summer brings social, beginner-friendly waves. Autumn has warm water and consistent surf. Winter & Spring offer quieter lineups and great waves for progression — we match the beach to your level every day.

MAR-MAY

best for

Grow confidence + swell building up

● Mid season (1 Mar. – 19 May)
● Consistent waves without too much power
● Less wind, cleaner conditions
● Caparica or Carcavelos

Fewer crowds than summer – more waves per session.

MAY-OCT

best for

Easy waves + beach days

● High season (20 May – 15 Oct)
● Smaller, more approachable waves
● Warmest weather and water
● Mostly Caparica

Portugal water stays “refreshing” – 18°C to 20°C. Wetsuit included in all our lessons.

NOV-FEB

best for

Cleaner swells + Skill building

● Low season (1 Nov. – 28 Feb.)
● More reliable Atlantic swell
● Quieter lineups, great for progression
● Mostly Carcavelos and Torre (or other sheltered spots)

Mild Lisbon winter, authentic Atlantic surf.

You think surf is only for summer? Think again

“I came in winter because I wanted to surf bigger waves, and now is the season for bigger waves.”

“I have no reasons to change the school. I’m happy anytime I came here. Good instructors, good conditions and you meet good people.”

Had an amazing time surfing with them! I didn’t stay at the surf house, but the pick up and drop off from Lisbon was easy and punctual. The waves were tough today but the instructors helped keep the vibes high and stayed in the water getting pounded by waves to help us get up on the board. Would definitely go again!

Lovely surf house and good to be near Lisbon centre. Surf school is a ~40 minute drive from the house each day but goes by quickly. Two surf sessions a day with some nice lunch spots nearby. Instructors are very hands on, constructive and made the lessons very fun. We were lucky to have great surfing conditions - caught lots of waves!

Top! Surf Lisbon is very hospitable! Warm people, wonderful beach with good waves for learning to surf. Caxias is a good place for trips to Lisbon or other excursion destinations. Would do it again immediately!

Find a beginning with fun and future The team is really nice and the surf lessons are great. The surfing equipment is of a high standard and the house is a really special place. It's very clean. If you are looking for a place of a certain standard, you might not be happy because of the stress in front and the train behind the backyard. But you will definitely miss out on a magical place. I will come back because they have become like family to me. The number of people who return shows me that I’m not alone in feeling this way. I don’t only want to thank Nuno, but also the team, from the cleaners to the surf instructors and Leonor, who give their all every day. Yes, I know them all.

Surf lisbon Great, cozy hostel, all instructors make you feel welcomed and are so friendly. 15min metro from Lisbon and right next to the beach, amazing spot. Good value and very clean place. Fresh bread, meat and cheese with a coffee machine and fresh orange juice machine made breakfast amazing, but maybe could have more selection of foods apart from that? BBQ area available to use in hostel as well is another positive along with the nice outdoor area. Easy to meet and talk to people as you are all there for the same activity

Look no further - this is the place to surf in Lisbon Over the years this place became our second home, it’s great around the year, we have visited SurfLisbon over the past 9 years and met awesome people, caught nice waves and enjoyed Lisbon. The team is very professional and fun! They will help you to catch your first wave and coach to advance in your surfing journey. Very easy connection to city center and the airport from the surf house. If you stay in the city you can easily arrange a pick up for the surf lessons. Be careful, chances of getting addicted to surfing are very high! :) Enjoy!

Eerste keer voor de mama en haar 2 volwassen zonen. Voor mezelf serieus buiten mijn comfortzone maar Marcus was heel ondersteunend en geduldig.. en ik heb 3 seconden rechtgestaan op mijn bord 😉! Dus een succes! Mijn zonen waren iets vlotter weg met de technieken en hadden ook een heel fijne eerste ervaring. Bedankt!

I can 100% recommend! It was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Lisbon. Everything was very well organized - you just show up at the central meeting point, and they take care of the rest. The team was incredibly supportive and encouraging, so even with zero surfing experience, you’ll be standing on the board after just a few tries. Such a fun experience!

Meeting point outside Hotel Fénix Lisboa (Praça Marquês de Pombal, 8). Look for the white vans with our logo.
