Come hang and make friends with our crew from all over the world, sharing travel tales over a beer or seven(teen?) or a sangria if that’s more your jam (unlimited for €10 per day). Everyone’s welcome, from beginners to the most accomplished surf dudes and dudettes, our surf instructors are fun, friendly and happy to help.

The Zarautz Surf Camp is our little slice of paradise just outside of San Sebastian. It’s a combination of breathtaking landscapes (mountains and beaches), intriguing Basque culture, award-winning food, insane waves, and beautiful weather in which to enjoy it all.

Where else in the world are your primary concerns a) the temperature of your beer and b) trying not to get too much sun? Where each and every day is a cycle of eating, surfing and drinking, and the nights are spent partying it up in the streets of San Sebastian. Wake up surrounded by verdant hills and gorgeous coastal views, to the sound of rustling leaves and twittering birds at our Zarautz clifftop campsite. You’ll never want to leave!

THE SURF

Whilst surfing Zurriola in San Sebastian can be a super fun time, the real magic happens just along the coast in Zarautz – less people, and vastly superior waves, for beginners and shredders alike.

Summertime in Zarautz offers surfers with clean, fun waves in the 1-3ft range. Zarautz is an easy going beach break in summer with plenty of opportunities for new surfers to find their grip on the slow rolling waves. There’s always a few banks scattered along the 2.5km stretch, offering intermediate and highly experienced surfers fun running lefts and rights with some nice sections to perform manoeuvres. Winds are generally light, offshore in the mornings and from the NW during the day, allowing a nice organised lineup. During the summer there will be a few bigger swells that come through producing nice rippable walls on the mid to high tide.
