Surf & Sup
Our beach. Our waves.
The west coast of Portugal is an unparalleled location offering unique conditions for surfing. Santa Cruz is at the centre of this coast with deserted beaches and crowdless waves, reserved just for you.
Here you will be able to feel and live the true spirit of surfing and all of this very close (20 min) to the most famous peaks/spots in Europe, where the World Surfing Championships take place. Santa Cruz is an excellent showcase for the waves, beaches and surf in Portugal.
You will find waves for all levels of surfing, with many point and beach breaks. At Noah Surf House Portugal we give Surf & SUP classes to people of all ages, providing classes for all levels: from beginners to advanced users.
With a team of teachers with more than 15 years of experience in teaching and competition, within the area of surfing, graduated in Physical Education and Sport, credited by the Portuguese Surfing Federation, Noah Surf House Portugal strives towards excellence.
Guests at Noah Surf House Portugal will have the best gear on the market, from surfing suits to surfboards suitable to each level, guaranteeing total comfort and safety.
Surfing classes are divided into three levels with different theoretical and practical goals. SUP classes will have 'flat water' and 'wave' components.
