Book now

The Search is the surf trip for those who truly want to make the most of their vacation days. We surf at least twice a day, and we don’t just sit around waiting for waves to come to us – we hit the road and chase the best conditions with help from our local surf guides.

Throughout the trip, we explore everything from the southern shores of the Algarve to the powerful breaks up north in Peniche. Depending on the swell, that means we might surf in places like Ericeira, Peniche, Baleal, Carcavelos, Caparica, Sines, and Sagres.

Wednesday – Arrival day

  • You’ll arrive at Lisbon Airport, where our transfer will be waiting to pick you up.
  • From there, you’ll head to Ericeira and meet our local guides and instructors.
  • Once everyone’s settled in, we’ll go through the surf forecast for the week and start planning the road trip for the days ahead.

Thursday – Saturday

Where and when we’ll surf isn’t set in stone – our plan is to chase the best waves based on the conditions each day. What we do know is that we’ve got the entire coastline from the Algarve in the south to Peniche in the north to explore, and several great hotels and apartments to stay in along the way.

  • On Saturday evening, we’ll return to Ericeira for our final night together.
  • This charming surf town is full of cozy restaurants, cafés, and bars – perfect for a fun and relaxing last night.

Sunday – Departure day

  • We start the day with a good breakfast.
  • Depending on your flight time, there might be a chance to squeeze in one last surf session.
  • Check-out is at 10:00 AM, and your transfer to the airport will be arranged together with our guide.
  • We say goodbye and thank you for an amazing trip – and we hope to see you again soon!

Our surf trip, The Search, is perfect for more experienced surfers looking to chase the best waves along Portugal’s coastline. Portugal is world-renowned for its surf culture and is now considered the most popular surfing destination in Europe. With a wide variety of waves for all skill levels, it offers consistent swell thanks to its exposed coastline and ideal geographic location – meaning there’s always somewhere to surf, no matter the swell or wind direction. This flexibility is exactly what makes our road trip format so rewarding: we follow the best conditions, day by day.

Since we travel during the winter season, the lineups are less crowded, yet the waves are more frequent: giving us the best of both worlds – plenty of time in the water without the hustle. While we’ll always follow the best waves, you’ll also have the chance to surf some of Europe’s most iconic spots. Just north of Lisbon is Peniche, home to the legendary Supertubos – a regular stop on the WSL Championship Tour. What makes Peniche even more unique is how close together so many breaks are, within walking or short driving distance there are dozens of waves working under different conditions.

Other locations we may surf include the many breaks around Ericeira (where we also spend our first and last nights), and if the conditions are right, we might head all the way south to the Algarve. Altogether, we have over 400 km of coastline to explore, offering not only world-class waves but also breathtaking scenery.

Not quite at that level yet?
We also offer surf trips in Portugal for beginners and those who prefer staying in one spot:
