SurfCoaching Surfguiding in Southwest Algarve

Had a great time learning more about the area, João took me to a very nice spot to start off my trip in Portugal! João was very knowledgeable about the surf conditions and planned the day around the wind and tide. As an added bonus, he was able to snap some great photographs for me. Was a memorable day for sure.

We had an amazing time with Joao and his girlfriend Sara. Surf guiding is great if you already have a few skills ! Joao always took us on the best spot and helped us improve our surfing, he also recommended us some places to visit. Best surf guide, we can’t wait to come back!!

João is a wonderful surf guide and person: he's a very good surfer, has a lot of knowledge about the conditions and the ocean, takes good care of the ocean (always collecting trash from the beach after a session ;-)) and cares about his clients. He takes you to the best suitable surfspot for your skill level and he will bring out the best in you as a surfer. Always having fun and playing around, he will put a smile on your face and make your (surf)day! After surf he's keen to show you nice places to lunch or have a drink. I feel very blessed for meeting him and for all the nice surf sessions we had so far.

Surfing with Joao everyday was wonderful. He took me to spots where we surfed great waves often by ourselves, he has excellent local knowledge of the tides and conditions that makes spots work. We surfed both beaches on the south and west coast and he choose conditions to suit the level of the surfers on the trip so that everyone had a chance to score. I felt safe and could push my surfing without overly worrying about hazards as Joao clearly pointed these out when we got to the beach. I am an experienced surfer, but like to stay safe and I could not have surfed with as much freedom and fun if I had tried to go solo. I will be back for more next year.. Thanks Joao!!!

Thanks to Joao I could spend less time researching, trying and failing and more time surfing :) super nice guy who clearly loves seeing his customers shred 🤘🤙 Cheers and I will be in touch if I return to the Algarve 🤝

Joao was very patient and helpful with the whole experience. Great guy, found the best beaches and post surf spots. Top guy - 100% recommend. To top it all, he gave me his bracelet when I said i really like it.

Legendary Algarve surf guide, great person and excellent local surfer. Get ready for great adventures on incredible waves.

I had a really amazing few days surfing in South Portugal under the guidance of joao! Every morning we checked some different spots for the best surf that day. Really an invaluable service for any surfer looking to get the best local knowledge and surfing expetience. Not only this but I made a friend for life. Learned about the Portuguese culture and was welcomed with open arms. This experience is one I will never forget and for sure will be back. Thank you for everything joao, you really made memories for us our days together were the highlight of our 2 week trip traveling Portugal.

Very happy to have met and surfed with João! João is extremely knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. I surfed with him on two different days. On both occasions, he brought me to new beaches to make sure we could find the best waves while ensuring we had enough time to surf with the right tides. He also took GoPro videos from the water and photos from the beach (with a proper camera!). I have already recommended João to a friend who is going to SW Portugal on a surf trip this summer.

Surfing together with wave portugal was a fantastic experience! Portugal is a special place, beautiful beaches and waves easy to meet .. There is a wide choice and with wave portugal everything is easier to find!
