Learn to Surf in Costa da Caparica

Just across the Tagus River from Portugal’s vibrant capital lies Costa da Caparica, a sun-drenched stretch of Atlantic coastline that has been drawing surfers for over four decades. Backed by rolling hills and long, golden beaches, this wave-rich region near Lisbon offers year-round surf, laid-back charm, and the perfect blend of beach life and city culture. With its consistent swell, wide sandy shores, and mellow morning offshore winds, Caparica delivers the kind of surf conditions that feel straight out of Southern California-but with a distinctly Portuguese flavour.

The surf here is ideal for every level of rider, from those taking their first lessons to confident intermediates and advanced surfers looking to refine their technique. With water temperatures ranging from 14°C in the cooler months to 24°C in summer, and air temps swinging from a mild 15°C in winter to a hot 35°C in high season, this region serves up prime surf conditions no matter when you visit.

Each morning begins with a relaxed breakfast before heading out to the best surf break of the day. Your experienced local surf guide will take you to the most suitable beach depending on the swell, wind, and tide. Costa da Caparica boasts miles of varied coastline, offering everything from gentle reformers to punchier peaks-all set against the backdrop of some of Europe’s most scenic and often uncrowded beaches. It’s the perfect spot to disconnect, reset, and ride wave after wave under the Portuguese sun.

After your sessions, you’ll return to a comfortable, modern hotel just minutes from both the town centre and the beach. Ideally located just 15 km from Lisbon and 20 km from the airport, this stylish hotel gives you the best of both worlds—easy access to the capital’s culture and nightlife, and the peaceful vibe of Caparica’s shoreline. Each guest room features a private balcony with sea views, modern amenities, and a relaxed coastal design to match the setting.

When you’re not surfing, enjoy the hotel’s range of leisure facilities including a sparkling outdoor pool, a fully equipped gym, and an on-site restaurant offering delicious Portuguese cuisine.
