Pure Surf School Raposeira (surf lessons near Sagres)

The Raposeira branch of Pure Surfcamps, a chain with camps in several countries, sells lesson packs rather than single lessons: three days (10 hours) for 199 €, four days (13 hours) for 249 €, five days (16 hours) for 279 € [1]. Board, wetsuit, insurance and beach transfer are included [1].

Lessons happen mostly at Praia do Amado (a sheltered bay with a sandy bottom, good for beginners) and Praia do Castelejo (more exposed, several peaks), chosen each morning by swell, wind and tide [1].
