Pocean Surf Academy

Pocean Surf Academy is owned by POCEANSURF, Lda. It is located in Ribeira D’Ilhas Beach, 2 km north of the town of Ericeira (a short trip from Lisbon). A traditional town of fishermen, Ericeira is located on the Atlantic coast of Portugal. Ribeira D’Ilhas beach is internationally recognized as one of the best Surf spots in Europe and is located in an area that has been formally approved as a World Surfing Reserve (WSR) by the organization Save the Waves. Ericeira is the ONLY approved world surfing reserve in Europe, with only two other WSR in the whole world.

This being, our surf school – POCEAN SURF ACADEMY – is located a 30-minute drive (approx.) from Lisbon, in one of the best beaches in Europe for surfing. Regarded by many as a “Surfing Mecca”, it has perfect waves and the ideal conditions to learn, regardless of your level of surfing.
If you think of yourself as an adventurer, there are plenty of good surfing spots to explore near the beach where the school is located, such as: Pedra Branca, Reef, Cave, Crazy Left and Coxos.

Our school guarantees quality teaching in every level of surfing, while paying special attention to safety rules. Every day, our surf instructors (accredited by the Portuguese Surfing Federation), plan the lessons by taking the weather conditions into consideration.

It is very easy to spot our school once you’re on the beach. You just have to spot the vans in the parking lot with our logo (POCEAN SURF ACADEMY) and brand.

We are here all year to share with you the best that we have to offer:
Friendliness, professionalism, local surf know-how and great waves!!!
