Just Surf the Azores

Welcome to São Miguel, the largest island in the Azores archipelago, where volcanic peaks meet turquoise surf and raw natural beauty surrounds every session. Known for its powerful Atlantic swells and uncrowded breaks, São Miguel is a dream destination for surfers who crave freedom, challenge, and solitude in equal measure. If you’ve got your board, your gear, and your own surf plan, this is where you take control of your adventure.

Our Just Surf package is designed for surfers who want the essentials taken care of, surfboard-friendly airport transfers and premium accommodation, without any fixed schedule. With no guiding, no lessons, and no limitations, you’re free to chase waves from sunrise to sunset, exploring one of Europe’s most unique surf regions at your own pace. Whether you’re hitting the consistent beach breaks at Santa Bárbara, exploring reefier setups, or checking remote northern spots, the choice is entirely yours.

São Miguel offers year-round surf potential, with water temperatures ranging from 17°C to 23°C and air temperatures between 17°C and 28°C. The island’s exposed coastline means you’re almost always within striking distance of a workable swell, and its diversity of beach, reef, and point breaks keeps things interesting—especially for intermediate and advanced surfers travelling independently.

Your base for the week is the award-winning Santa Bárbara Eco-Beach Resort, located directly on the north coast overlooking the Atlantic. Surrounded by mountains and positioned just steps from the island’s most iconic surf beach, this eco-luxury retreat offers beautifully designed villas and suites featuring natural wood finishes, minimalist styling, and private terraces. Inside, you’ll find fully equipped kitchenettes, spacious living areas, and sweeping views, ideal for unwinding after a day in the water.

The resort also features an infinity pool, beach bar, and on-site restaurant serving local, organic cuisine, all in perfect harmony with the surrounding landscape. It’s the ultimate base for surfers who want tranquility, authenticity, and easy beach access with a touch of island luxury.

With OCEAN FEVER’s Just Surf Azores package, you’re not just taking a surf trip, you’re stepping into the rhythm of island life. No schedule, no crowd, no compromise, just you, your board, and the waves of São Miguel.
