Arrifana Surf School Package

The big open bay of Arrifana lays just North of Carrapateira, a scenic surf spot and beach, dwarfed by a high cliff, topped by a picturesque village. The beach is perfect for new surfers and intermediates, with great sand banks that hold perfect waves. On bigger swells, a right hand point break lights up and can produce epic rides.

Arrifana is sixty miles from Faro and tucked away along the rugged Portuguese coast. This great surfing destination is guaranteed to lure the visitor into its friendly local atmosphere, and the open spaces will ease any surfer looking to escape modern life.

Your hosts will take care of every detail of your surfing holiday, ensuring your stay with us on the West coast of Portugal is an unforgettable one.

Itinerary / Highlights

The surf that arrives in the large bay of Arrifana is generated out of the North Atlantic Ocean. Arrifana is blessed by having such a big swell window, the bay picks up any swell in the Atlantic and this means that surfing everyday is a common occurrence.

There is surf to suit all standards of surfers along the west coast of Portugal, and those looking for the classic hollow waves will not be disappointed. Those looking for gentle waves will also find these in abundance.

In Arrifana, we offer two surfing options for those looking to hit the surf. The first is our surf school option. Well-structured lessons, designed to get people up and riding from day one. The lessons then become more dynamic and personal with in-water coaching and beach theory lessons.

The second is our surf guide option. This is for surfers who have surfed a few times, have their own board and just want to find the best surf on any given day. With so many hidden bays and beaches, there is a lot to explore!
