A Beginner Surf Lesson
Our professional instructors will share their experience with all their knowledge and passion. You will be able to stand up on the board and riding the wave from the first lesson on – promised! But be aware: Surfing is like a drug, you might be addicted.
A Journey for Beginners
We leave around 9:00AM, in search of the best spot to surf. Every day, we will assess the place according the tide, wind, swell size and direction, the same way experienced surfers would do. The waves aren’t made by a machine, so they are not always perfect on the same beach, depending on the day. When we have assessed the right surf spot for that day, we will start with a short introduction and warm-up exercises. After 1,5 – 2 hours surfing in the water, you will be hungry, it’s time for lunch. Then, after this pause, we will start the second class of the day.
At the end of an entire day surfing, you will be tired, and your level of endorphins will be very high, so it will be time to go back from the beach and have a warm bath.
Our team often organizes night tours to typical restaurants, where everyone is welcome. After an excellent dinner, depending on your energy, it’s time to either go for a drink in the bars or go to have a rest and get fresh for the next day!
What our surfers say
What a fantastic place. Just back from a week's break in Sagres and we couldn't recommend Wavesensations more. It was the first time we tried surfing and our teacher Nelson was phenomenal, he made us feel very safe and confident and got us up on the boards no matter how hard it was. We feel like we now know more not only about surfing but also about life!!! Beautiful house, great rooms, veeeeery comfortable beds, lovely breakfast in the common area each morning. It's a perfect place to relax, learn something new and meet incredible people. Big thanks to Nelson, Sandra and Pedro, we cannot wait to be back xread more

AMAZING experience!! My bf and I did the short stay (3x days surf, 4x night stay) which was perfect and not many other schools offer this type of package which was a big plus. We enjoyed our time so much we went surfing with them again the day we checked out! We highly recommend Wavesensation Surf camp & the surf house. The house itself is beautiful and has all the amenities you need. The interior is modern, clean and well designed- you feel right at home immediately. The welcoming staff is very professional, friendly and helpful (shout out to Pedro). We had a private double room which was phenomenal -high hotel standards. TV included, Wifi, great bathroom and nice bed. The only small missing part was a self controlled aircon or a fan. Breakfast was basic, but very nice. We would just recommend serving breakfast a bit earlier since there wasn't enough time to digest between breakfast and surf lessons. The backyard area is also AMAZING. So nice to spend time there relaxing, reading, hanging out and enjoying the sun and Sagres breeze. Great restaurants nearby- all walking distance. Tonel Beach is just 5 minutes walking and great place to learn to surf. This was our First time surfing and we could not have had a better experience. All the equipment including boards, wet suits and leashes were great quality. We could not have asked for better instructors. SUPER professional, knowledgeable, fun, attentive and just great people. We always had 3-4 instructors. They were so patient and helpful while in the water- that after just 1 day of lessons we were already standing and catching some wavesss!! We felt safe, confident and they always immediately gave us feedback after every wave which helped so much. Thank you Caio, Bine, Danka and Nelson for such an unforgettable time!! read more

Stayed there in June 2019; the house is basically refurbished to very high standard, everything works perfectly well and with the Scandinavian decor I felt fully at home! The breakfast was very varied and fulfilling (yogurt, cereals, toast, pastries, muffings, fruit, sausages, eggs, cheese...). All the instructors were excellent, but specially Nelson, he'd be the last one leaving the water, would wait until we were all out of it and then he'd check on each of us and is amazing at encouraging you when you are getting tired and at spotting what you're doing wrong and how to improve it. I hope I'll get to be his 'pupil' again sometime. They also lend you beach towels. The vibe at the house is great and the rest of the staff are very willing to help with anything and accommodating. Definitely will try to go back!read more

More Info
Safety and professionalism are the always present at Wavesensations. This is even more true when working with kids.
Beginner level - Kids Surf Lesson Policy
Safety and professionalism are the always present at Wavesensations. This is even more true when working with kids.
Under 8 — Minimum age for kids’ surf lessons is 8 years old.
From 8 to 12 — Lessons are available if you can demonstrate your child’s swimming ability. Please note however that we require one parent or tutor to be in the water supervising each child at all times, since our instructors will have other guests to attend to. Tutors must remain in the beach at all times during your child’s surf lesson. They cannot join the same lesson while they are supervising the child.
From 12 – 16 — Lessons are available with a parent or tutor supervising in the beach. The tutor(s) can join the same lesson if they wish.
Why should you get this?
Surfing has a very steep learning curve. Understanding the basic techniques from the start is key. Even if you have taken a few lessons here and there, you might have a lot more to learn at this level of coaching. The difference is that you will live a whole trip with the same surf guides that will get time to know how you surf and what you need to improve.
