Winter Travel

For us sun-deprived Brit surfers, the not so far flung shores of Portugal and Morocco are an easy hop, skip and jump away from here. Easy to get to, cheap when you’re there, with hours of sunshine (almost) guaranteed, a week’s break at one of these surf camps will take the stress out of travelling whatever level of surfer you are. And if you’re planning to go alone then it will give you the chance to meet and surf with like-minded people. So what are you waiting for? A week’s break this winter is just what the doctor ordered.

Portugal

A sure thing in winter for sun and good times is the wave rich land of Portugal. an epic coast of empty waves stretching from Porto in the north down the hidden coves of the Algarve. It’s mercifully warm year round on land and while the water needs a decent suit it’s still lush compared to here in January.
