Nazare Surf School

Surf

A surf school on the town beach at Nazaré with local certified instructors, teaching on the ordinary beach break in front of town, not the big-wave beach.

Nazaré Surf School runs lessons on Praia da Nazaré, the sheltered town beach that is a normal beach break most of the year and works for all levels in summer. Praia do Norte, around the headland, is a tow-in arena and nothing to do with a lesson.

Praia do Norte

The wave behind the Nazaré big-wave phenomenon. An underwater canyon funnels and amplifies Atlantic swell onto this beach, producing the largest surf ridden anywhere. A tow-in and big-wave arena, not a normal surf spot at any size.
