Ericeira, from the point to the reef.

18+ onlyScored against your own preferences, with every reason named. Where we do not know enough, we say so instead of putting a number on a guess.
Platform-verified facts about each wave, not the camp's marketing. Hazards are stated plainly.
A stone house on the cliff road between Ribeira d'Ilhas and Coxos. Two coaches, a maximum of six surfers in the water per guide, and a van that leaves when the tide says so rather than when the timetable does. Winter is the reason to come: from October to April there is swell most days and the point runs for two hundred metres. In July and August the coast is small and we say so on the booking page.

on top of the room

WHAT IS INCLUDED
WHAT IS NOT
Fixed departure
A fixed Saturday-to-Saturday week with one group and one coach.
on top of the room
One group, one coach, seven nights, Saturday to Saturday. The week is structured: theory on day one, video on days three and five, a dawn patrol on the best forecast day and a rest morning after it. Numbers are capped by what one coach can safely watch in the water, not by how many beds we have.
WHAT IS INCLUDED
WHAT IS NOT
Flexible stay
One surf, one yoga class, one long afternoon. Every day.
on top of the room
A slower shape to the day: one coached session in the morning, a yoga class in the late afternoon, and nothing scheduled in between. Suits people who want to surf every day for a fortnight without ending it injured.
WHAT IS INCLUDED
WHAT IS NOT
Flexible stay
Bed, breakfast and two coached sessions a day. Arrive any day.
on top of the room
Two guided sessions a day with a coach in the water, video review on the days it is worth reviewing, and a forecast briefing every morning. Arrive on any day and stay as long as you like — the schedule works around whoever is here.
WHAT IS INCLUDED
WHAT IS NOT
ARRIVING AND LEAVING
15:00 → 10:30
Check in from 15:00, out by 10:30, local time at the camp (Europe/Lisbon). Every deadline we quote you — cancellation included — is in that zone, not yours.
PAID AT THE PROPERTY
€2.00person, per night
Ericeira tourist tax, per guest per night. We never charge it and never refund it — you pay the camp in cash on arrival. It is not in the total you see in the panel.
WHO CAN STAY
18+ only
Surfcamps.World does not book under-18s, anywhere, in this version. Every person on a booking confirms their age before the dates are held — not after you have paid.
TAX ON THE STAY
6%
Accommodation tax, charged on the room and any package. It is already inside the total in the booking panel — no surprise at the desk.
WHAT WE HAVE CHECKED
We verify these ourselves. Anything not listed here, we have not checked.

TOO FEW TO AVERAGE
2 surfers have reviewed this camp. We do not publish an average until three people have, because two opinions dressed as a score is not a rating. Read them below and judge for yourself.

FIRST TIMER · 6 NIGHTS IN JUNE
I came off the back of a bad trip somewhere else and this reset it. Small groups, no ego in the water, and they were completely straight with me about which break I should and should not be paddling out at. Food was better than it needed to be.

ADVANCED INTERMEDIATE · 6 NIGHTS IN JUNE
The coaching was the reason I booked and it delivered. Two sessions a day, video twice, and a coach who told me plainly that my back foot was in the wrong place for three years. Room was basic and the walls are thin, so bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper.

We will not put a percentage on a guess. A match score is only worth reading when it is built on what you actually want — your level, the waves you like, what you are going for.
It takes about two minutes, and it changes every camp you see from then on.

WHEN NOT TO COME
July drops to 33% rideable days. If those are the only weeks you can travel, book somewhere else — we would rather lose the booking than sell you a flat week.
