WEEK-LONG SURF COURSE - OCTOBER 2026

Overview

Five surf sessions across one week, with a coach in the water beside you and no more than five surfers per group. October is one of the best months to learn here. The summer crowds have gone, the water is still around 19°C, and the Atlantic starts producing the consistent swell that makes Ericeira worth the trip. You'll have more room, more waves, and more of your coach's attention than you would in August. Your week doesn't have to start on a Sunday — we can begin any day that suits your travel. One thing to plan around: Saturday is our rest day, so there are no lessons. If your week runs across a Saturday, your five sessions will spread over six days rather than five. Each session runs two hours, and we set the time around the tides—some mornings early, some afternoons at sunset —whichever gives you the best conditions that day. What's included · Five two-hour sessions, five surfers per coach · Video analysis — we film you, then sit down and go through it together, so you can see what's working and what to fix next. It makes more difference than anything else we do. · A photo session, so you go home with more than a memory · Wetsuit, board, leash and wax · Beach transfers from your accommodation, anywhere in the Ericeira area · Personal and public liability insurance Who it's for Complete beginners and improvers. One lesson teaches you what to do; five teaches your body to do it without being told. This is where most people stop catching white water and start catching green ones. No accommodation — we stopped doing beds in 2024. Happy to point you somewhere good.
