Surf is more than just a sport, it is a lifestyle

Surf is more than just a sport, it is a lifestyle

Teach and learn. Feel and live.

At Moby Dick Surf School, in Cascais, we are certified instructors, experient surfers and most of all we love the ocean. Our history is deeply connected to surf since it first appeared in Portugal in the 70’s. Pioneers in the search of the best wave, we have never stopped searching, generation after generation.

Surfing is not only about catching some waves and skillful maneuvers, it is more than that. It is a mix of sensations that ultimately makes us feel free and light. More than improving and developing one’s physical capacity, it is also a lifestyle that expands the mind.

Surfing grows on you as you practice and learn more and more. We want everyone to enjoy it and experience surfing at the fullest, in and out of the ocean, at the most beautiful beaches of Portugal.

Guincho Beach

Guincho beach, with its views to Cabo da Roca, is one of the most populars amongst the surfers.

São Pedro do Estoril Beach

Located between the hills, São Pedro is perfect to surf during winter time.

Adraga Beach

Adraga is regarded as one of the most beautiful beaches in Portugal, mainly due to the stunning scenery of cliffs, jagged rock out crops and golden sand. It is located in the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park.

Costa da Caparica Beaches

On the south shore of Tejo (Tagus) river, Costa da Caparica has a vast and wide coastline within striking distance from Lisboa.

Surf Camp | Moby Dick Lodge

The surf camp is a dive deep into the surf philosophy experience. You will be surfing during the day and spending the night in a surf house, surrounded with people that share a common interest. It is a great way to speed the learning process, embracing the soul surfer spirit in the meantime.

Surf Rentals

We are well equipped and prepared to rent surf equipment, such as wetsuits and boards, to surfers with any level of experience, sizes and ages.

Reviews

  • A wonderful place with wonderful people. The hostel is lovely and cozy and the town in the middle of a national park. The beaches are incredible but also the hills and the towns in the area which are worth exploring. There is no lack of delicious food, the little village of Malveira da Serra has plenty of good restaurants like El Farol and the little gem Estrela da Serra and I also recommend Adraga restaurant by Adraga beach. The lessons were incredible fun. The instructors drive to different beachs depending on the weather and the surf conditions so you get to see plenty of the area. All beaches are different and unique and have of course incredible waves. The instructors look after you well and give lots of encouragement.

  • I liked the surf lessons with João and Caetano. They both were very friendly. It was my first experience and I definitely will remember it.

  • The accommodation was very clean and welcoming and has a very homely feel. The owner has dressed each room differently but in keeping with the surf style. The owner Paulo was very welcoming and likes to make you feel like you’re at home. The town itself is beautiful and quaint with all the required amenities. It’s only a short drive from the major tourist spots with good public transport links. We could already surf (or so we thought) but the instructors were so knowledgeable and have many years’ experience for all levels of teaching. We left knowing so much more and have so many new skills to practice. We pretty much had 2 to 1 tuition the whole time and spots were picked according to surf ability and swells on the day.
