And finally, Porto it’s only 20 minutes away by train, and the train station 200 meters far from us. This is a great option for combining a beach and surfing vacation with the possibility of exploring a unique city.
Our surf house in Espinho, a small city by the sea 20 km south of Porto, northern Portugal, is located just 30 mt from the beach and best surf spot. It was built in 1939 and still keeps some of its original features, as its high ceilings, walls and tiles. It was recently renewed to be the perfect destination to make the most of a beach vacation in Portugal, especially surfing lovers, who can recover their power in a cosy place socialize with their fellow mates.

The surf house was perfectly located. You´ll have the breakfast in a caffé just under the surf house, which is really nice. There are many other restaurants with local food near the surf house. Surf house is nice and clean and you´ll find there everything you need.
Our surf lessons were a pleasant experience. There was a good student-teacher ratio so our surf instructor Alechandrei could help every one of us immediately. He was an excellent motivator and he could pass on his love for surfing (so now we love surfing too :D). Beaches were clean and really not overcrowded. Waves were good and if not, we drove by car to another beach.
We provide Airport Transfers from and to Porto- OPO and they can be booked in the booking steps.

Espinho has one of the best right-handers in Portugal, but yet not overcrowded. The wave, which is just in front of our house, is very consistent and offers some long walls that could be fun&friendly, or heavy&hollow, depending of the conditions. Espinho and the surfing spots around offer surfing possibilities to every level of surfing, as even in bigger days the inside waves are more forgiven.

Espinho
Level: All Levels
There are a couple of surfing spots in Espinho, which may be running or not, depending on overall conditions.
The casino right to hander /The Bay) is one of the most popular waves of northern Portugal to a point break barreling wave with different sections. Experienced surfers will have tons of fun. Beginners can surf it easily when the waves are small. When surf's big, the inside section is a surfer friendly zone and allows surfing to be possible to the rookies.
North of the main jetty there is the Blue beach wave, a heavy shore break slab that works in bigger conditions and south swell and wind. Advanced surfers only!
Southwards, there are more waves near the fishermen’s zone to middle beach. With small to average waves this is a wise choice to skip from the crowd!
Since 2014 it’s one of the stages of the World Pro Junior Series.
Espinho is 20 km's south from Porto (20 minutes by train to the centre) and it's perfect for combine a surfing vacation and the discovery of an unique city
The best time to surf Porto is between Spring through to Autumn. It's main surf beach is Matosinhos beach, the best surf spot in Porto for beginner and intermediates. Its a long 1km sandy beach with a few different points on it. The set up is a mix of beach break and reef break and parts of it are sheltered so it handles larger swell. Easy to get to and consistent.
Next to Matosinhos is International Beach. A lovely spot that begins where the city park ends. Its also a great learner spot, and a great place to hang out both during day and at night. Further north is Leca, a very consistent beach break protected by the harbour.
In and around the city there are small little beaches all worth exploring, particularly for the more advanced surfers wanting to discover the best Porto surf breaks.
There are more surf breaks further south including Barra do Porto and Miramar and then 20km south of Porto are the towns of Esphino and Esmoriz. Its arguably the North's most famous surf area and the beaches have a real nice surf culture. The area's 3 main beaches are Silvade, beach, Blue beach and Baia beach. A mix of sandy beach breaks and reef spots that suit beginner and advanced. Hang around and score some long barreling right & left handers all to yourself.
