The Azores are nine volcanic islands in the middle of the Atlantic. Raw nature and dramatic landscapes shape every moment here. It remains one of Europeโs last true hidden gems.
Sรฃo Miguel โ the green heart of the Azores
Sรฃo Miguel is the largest and most diverse island. Crater lakes, mountains and open ocean views define its atmosphere. It is the perfect base for surfing, exploring and experiencing some of Europeโs wildest landscapes and richest biodiversity.
Santa Bรกrbara is one of the islandโs best beach breaks. Conditions change daily, so we adapt each session to the safest and best waves. Itโs the ideal spot for steady progression and confident riding.
Ocean and water temperature
Water stays between 18 and 22 degrees throughout the year. A 3/2 wetsuit keeps every session warm and comfortable. Hot springs after surfing complete the experience.
Dolphins and Whale watching
The waters around Sรฃo Miguel host bottlenose dolphins and many other species. You can also spot sei whales, sperm whales and humpbacks during migration. Itโs one of the Atlanticโs richest marine corridors.
Our surf camp experience
This is more than a surf trip; it is a full island journey. You stay in a cosy, friendly surf house designed for surfers from around the world. We combine surfing, yoga and exploration in a relaxed, supportive environment.
