Surf Schools in Almada & Sesimbra

10 schools · Portugal

South of the Tagus, Costa da Caparica stretches for 30 unbroken kilometres of Atlantic beachbreak — the longest sandy surf coast near any major European capital. Different sections suit different abilities: northern peaks are lively and beginner-friendly, while southern stretches hollow out and attract more experienced surfers. Around the headland, the sheltered bay of Sesimbra offers cleaner, glassier conditions when the Atlantic is firing elsewhere. Surf schools across this region benefit from year-round swell and one of Portugal's warmest surf communities.
