Learning to surf is not just about standing up: it is about starting to understand what to do when the next wave arrives. Our group surf lessons in El Palmar are designed to help you build confidence, independence and better judgement in the water from the level you are at now.
You can join if you have never surfed before or if you have already taken lessons and want to depend less and less on the instructor's directions. We organise groups by experience and work with a maximum of 7 people per instructor so the session makes sense for everyone.
Let each lesson give you something for your next surf
If you are starting, the goal is to understand the board, take off, position and how to move safely. If you already catch whitewater or are beginning to surf unbroken waves, we work on helping you recognise where to position yourself, when to paddle and how to make better use of the wave.
We are not trying to get you through a checklist of drills. We want you to leave the water with one or two clear references that you can recognise and repeat on your own.
Lessons adapted to your level and the conditions
El Palmar changes a lot with the tide, wind and swell. That is why we do not teach exactly the same lesson every day. We choose the time and part of the beach that best suit the group's level and adapt the work to what the sea allows.
The forecast helps us organise the session, but the final decision is made by looking at the actual sea. Learning to read those conditions is also part of becoming more independent.
If you want a quick idea before coming, check Will there be waves in El Palmar?: we translate the next 7 days of forecast into a simple reading according to your level.
One lesson or several for continuity
You can book one session or choose several lessons. A first lesson is useful for starting or getting back into surfing; several sessions let you return to the water with what you learned, correct things again and consolidate the feeling.
The equipment needed for the lesson is included. After booking, we confirm the time and meeting point according to the expected conditions.
Group, private or Surf Coaching?
A group lesson is the natural option if you want to learn or keep gaining independence while sharing a session with people of a similar level. If you prefer more attention and correction time, choose our Private Surf Lessons.
If you already surf independently and need to identify what is limiting your progression, explore our Surf Coaching. And if you want to spend several days surfing with accommodation and a group, see our Surfcamps for adults in El Palmar.
Start from where you are
You do not need a particular level of fitness or to know how to define your level. Tell us what experience you have and we will organise the session from there. The goal is for the next wave to find you a little better prepared than the previous one.

Frequently asked questions
What level do I need?
You do not need previous experience. Our instructors adapt the lesson to your level, from people with no experience to surfers who have already taken several lessons and are becoming more independent.
How many people are in each group?
We keep groups to a maximum of 7 people per instructor to provide individual attention and maintain safety.
How long is each lesson?
Each lesson includes approximately 2 hours of practice in the water, including instruction and safety.
Is equipment included?
Yes. We provide a surfboard, wetsuit and all the necessary equipment. You only need to bring swimwear, a towel and sun protection.
Where are the lessons held?
Lessons take place in El Palmar, but the exact surf spot may change depending on sea conditions so we can choose the most suitable and safest area for the activity.
What happens if the conditions are not good?
If sea conditions are not safe, we reschedule your lesson at no extra cost. Your safety is our priority.
What happens if the forecast shows wind or poor weather?
Forecasts can change, especially several days in advance. An unfavourable forecast alone does not mean the session will be cancelled. We follow the evolution and adjust the time and surf spot according to the most up-to-date conditions, trying to make the decision as close as possible to the session. If the actual conditions ultimately do not allow us to run it safely or make the session useful for the planned work, we reschedule it at no extra cost.
