Winter Surf Lessons in Peniche: Challenge yourself in the winter waves
Winter may not be the first season that comes to mind when thinking about surfing, but at Special Surf 78, surfing lessons during this season offer a unique and challenging experience. Recognized worldwide for its consistent waves, Peniche becomes a true paradise for surfers of all levels, even in the coldest months.
Why Surf in Winter?
Surfing in winter has its advantages, and many of them are surprising. In Peniche, surfing conditions can be even better during this season. The waves are bigger and more powerful, but there are also waves for beginners, ideal for those looking to improve their surfing. Fewer tourists in the water and quieter beaches also mean you'll have more space to surf and make the most of your lessons.
Additionally, wearing modern winter surf clothing such as neoprene clothing ensures you are protected from the cold, allowing you to focus on improving your technique and enjoying the waves without discomfort.
Benefits of Surfing Lessons in Winter
- Consistent and Challenging Waves: In winter, the Atlantic presents Peniche with stronger and more consistent swells. This provides an excellent opportunity to perfect your technique, whether you are a beginner or advanced. Classes during this season focus on adapting surfers to different conditions and providing a safe and enriching experience.
Peniche is the most consistent place in Europe and Portugal, due to the cut of its coast, which allows for more sheltered surfing spots when larger waves and wind arrive. That's why there's surfing for all levels, from beginners to advanced. - Fewer People on the Beach: The summer season attracts crowds, which can make surfing classes busier. In winter, the beaches are emptier, allowing a calmer and more relaxing environment to learn or improve your surfing.
- Dedicated Instructors: Our surf instructors are knowledgeable about winter wave behavior and adapt lessons to seasonal conditions, ensuring that all participants can learn safely and maximize their potential. Personalized attention becomes even greater, as the number of students per class tends to be smaller.
- Continuous Improvement: Anyone who wants to take surfing seriously knows that regular practice is essential. By continuing with classes in the winter, you maintain your progress, avoid losing pace and reach spring and summer with more confidence and improved skills.
