What to expect

Aljezur Surf School is based in Vales in the Arrifana area. It offers tuition for newcomers and surfers working on technique, with private arrangements for individuals, families and groups. Boards and wetsuits can also be rented separately, including different board constructions for different levels of experience.

The website combines a school, equipment rental and Aljezur Villas accommodation, so specify which service you need. A lesson booking does not automatically require a room, and hiring a hard board is a different choice from joining a beginner session. Check the selected lesson’s age arrangements and establish the meeting point through the school rather than treating the wider Aljezur municipality as one beach location.

Planning your visit

  • The base is in Vales near Arrifana.
  • Lessons and independent rentals are separate services.
  • Check the selected product’s age arrangements.
