What surfers say about PKSC

In the words of the people who surfed with us in Peniche.

It’s so much more than just a camp. When you arrive, the first feeling inside of you: I’m in the right place. Those guys helped me to make my lifelong dream come true and gave me the best week of my summer.

SofyiaSurf camp, August 2026

The surf camp with PKSC was the most beautiful, exciting and fun experience of my life! When I arrived I was a little intimidated by the waves, I had never surfed before. The instructors were all super welcoming and helpful, patient, fun!

Lorena PerchiazziSurf camp

What a wonderful place it is to make a first step in surfing! 10/10 amazing staff, during a lesson we had so much fun, and to feel support when I caught my first wave was precious.

Surfing in Peniche: your questions

Everything people ask us before their surf trip to Portugal.

Why surf in Peniche?

Peniche is a peninsula with beaches facing different directions, so there is usually a spot with good waves whatever the wind and swell. That consistency makes it one of the best places to surf in Portugal and in Europe, for first timers and experienced surfers alike.

Is Peniche good for beginners?

Yes. Our surf school sits right in front of one of the best waves in Peniche for beginners and intermediates, and we pick the spot for your level every day. With a maximum of 5 students per coach, the goal for first timers is to stand up and ride the whitewater on their own by the end of the week.

When is the best time to surf in Peniche?

It depends on your level. June to September brings smaller, friendly waves and warm days, ideal for first timers. April, May, October and November have fun-sized waves that suit beginners and intermediates. December to March brings the most powerful and consistent swells, best for confident surfers.

How much does a surf camp in Peniche cost?

Our surf camp in Peniche starts from €490 per person for 7 nights, with daily surf coaching in small groups, 3 free surf sessions, surf skate, yoga, video analysis and all surf equipment. Prices depend on the season, the house and the room.

Is there an affordable surf camp in Peniche?

If you are looking for a cheap surf camp in Peniche without cutting corners on coaching, our Beach House is our best value option, with the same coaches, surf school and program as the Surf House, from €490 per person per week.

How do I choose the best surf camp in Peniche?

Look at how close the surf school is to the waves, how many students each coach has, whether coaching includes video analysis, and the vibe of the house. At PKSC the surf school is on the beach, groups are max. 5 per coach, every week includes video analysis, and the camp is built for surfing, not partying.

Can we do a family surf trip to Portugal with kids?

Yes. Kids from 7 years old who can swim can join private surf lessons, and group lessons are from 14 years old. Families can also surf together, for example 4 adults with 1 or 2 children, with a coach just for the kids.

How do I get from Lisbon to Peniche?

Peniche is about an hour from Lisbon by car on the A8, and there are direct buses from Lisbon to Peniche. Our surf camp packs include a free pick-up from Peniche bus station between 16:00 and 21:00, and we can also arrange a private transfer from Lisbon airport.

Do I need my own surfboard or wetsuit?

No. Boards, wetsuits and leashes are included in our surf camp and surf lessons, with soft boards matched to your level.

Where are you in Peniche?

Our surf school is on the beach at Avenida Monsenhor Bastos, Praia do Cerro. The Surf House is at Avenida Mariano Calado 51 and the Beach House at Avenida Mariano Calado 30, both a few minutes’ walk from the surf school.
