Surf trip logistics

Ericeira's reefs and point breaks draw surfers from the UK, Ireland and the US all year. The main question is luggage: board bags, wetsuits and camp check-in times.

  1. Tip 1Tell us the number and length of your boards; longboards travel in a minivan.
  2. Tip 2Most surf camps have a set check-in time: share it and we plan the pick-up.
  3. Tip 3Winter swells are the big ones; summer is better for learning.

We booked a transfer from Lisbon Airport to Faro as we were staying in the Algarve for a few days. It was a long drive but the car was comfortable and the driver was friendly. We just sat back and enjoyed the trip instead of worrying about trains and changing buses.
