When most people think of surfing in Portugal, places like Ericeira and Peniche often come to mind...
But just a little further north of Ericeira lies an undiscovered paradise for wave lovers – the municipality of Torres Vedras. With its unspoiled beaches, consistent Atlantic swells, and a peaceful atmosphere, this region is a dream come true for surfers who prefer quality waves without the crowds.
At Mellowmove Surfcamp, we’ve made it our mission to introduce surfers to the magic of Torres Vedras. Nestled at the border between Mafra (Ericeira) and Torres Vedras, our camp gives you easy access to some of the best waves in the area while avoiding the busier surf spots. If you’re looking for an unforgettable surf adventure, here’s why we´ll bring the beaches of Torres Vedras closer to your heart.
Uncrowded Beaches and Perfect Waves
Unlike Ericeira, which has gained worldwide fame as a surf reserve, Torres Vedras remains a hidden gem. That means fewer people in the water and more waves for you. The beaches here stretch endlessly, offering a variety of conditions suitable for all levels.
Thanks to its exposure to the North Atlantic swells, Torres Vedras enjoys excellent surf conditions throughout the year. Autumn through spring is prime time, with consistent waves and offshore winds creating ideal conditions. Even in summer, there’s no shortage of fun, manageable waves, making it a fantastic destination for both beginners and experienced surfers looking to refine their skills.
With our highly qualified Mellowmove surf instructors who are certified by the Portugueses surfing federation, you’ll always be in the right spot at the right time, whether you’re catching your first wave or working on advanced techniques.
More Than Just Surfing
Torres Vedras isn’t just about surfing—it’s a place where you can soak up Portuguese culture, explore nature, and indulge in delicious local food and wine. After a morning surf session, why not take a trip to:
