About a week before the Surf Camp, we create a WhatsApp group. We ask you about your experience in the water, share the schedule, and start organizing groups by level.

In the days leading up to the camp, we monitor wave, swell, wind, and tide forecasts to choose the times and surf spots that best suit the conditions.

The schedule may be adjusted if the sea conditions change, but when you arrive in El Palmar, a good part of the six days is already prepared.

If an edition appears full, you can write to us via the WhatsApp button on the website to sign up for the waiting list.

We have a second Surfhouse that we can open if we gather an additional group of at least five people and the house is available. In that case, we will contact you to confirm the new spot before payment.

When we use both Surfhouses, participants can stay distributed between both houses, but they are part of the same Surfcamp and share the program, meals, and activities.

What ages are participants usually?
Surfcamps are exclusively for adults aged 18 and over. Most people who join are between 25 and 45, with groups commonly spanning both 25–35 and 35–45. Age does not determine level: we organise sessions according to each participant's experience.

Do I need prior experience?
No. We organise groups according to each participant's level, from those starting from scratch to more independent surfers.

Can I come alone?
Yes. It's common for part of the group to arrive without knowing the others beforehand.

What accommodation is included?
It includes 5 nights in our Surfhouse. We have shared rooms and a double room, which is prioritised for couples and assigned subject to availability.

What meals are included?
Breakfasts during the stay, a barbecue during the Surfcamp and a special New Year's Eve dinner with grapes and a toast are included. Other meals are not included.

Is surf equipment included?
Yes. Surfboard, wetsuit and rash guard are included during activities and Surf Libre sessions.

What do we do on New Year's Eve?
We share dinner at the Surfhouse, the grapes and a toast. During these days, we also set aside time to close out the year, set resolutions for 2027 and share a sound bath with Tibetan singing bowls.

Do we surf on January 1st?
If conditions allow, yes. Our intention is for the first surf of 2027 to be together, but as always, the schedule and surf spot depend on sea conditions.

How do you organise groups and schedules?
Before the Surfcamp, we ask about each participant's experience and follow wave, wind and tide forecasts to prepare groups, schedules and surf spots. If conditions change, we can adjust the programme.

How do I get to El Palmar and how do we get around during the Surfcamp?
Transport to El Palmar is not included. Once here, we transport the surf equipment in the van and organise the group for transfers to the beaches. If you need help organising your arrival, message us on WhatsApp.

Is insurance included?
Yes. Accident insurance during activities is included.

What happens if sea conditions change?
Forecasts can change right up to the last minute, so we organise sessions around the actual conditions and may adjust times, area or programme order to make the most of the best available windows safely. If an included surf lesson ultimately cannot take place and it is also not possible to reschedule it during the Surfcamp, you do not lose it: it will remain pending for 12 months, so you can use it on a future visit or apply its value towards a future Surfcamp. See the full policy.

What happens if it is windy or conditions do not allow surfing?
Surfing depends on nature, and wind, swell, tides and weather are part of any surf trip. A Surfcamp is a scheduled multi-day experience combining accommodation, group life and different activities, so an unfavourable forecast or the inability to run one or more surf sessions does not in itself mean that the Surfcamp is cancelled or automatically entitle the participant to a refund.

We follow the conditions closely and adapt the programme to make the best possible use of each day. If it is not safe to enter the water, we will not run the surf session and may reorganise the programme with activities related to the experience, such as Surfskate, video analysis, surf technique and theory, ocean reading, surf-specific training, mobility, physical preparation or other group activities. We will always try to use any suitable surfing window, but we cannot guarantee that every planned session or a fixed number of hours in the water can take place when natural conditions prevent it.

Cancelling or adapting one activity does not mean cancelling the whole Surfcamp. Decisions about water activities are made by Carving Social Club and its technical team, with group safety always the priority.

How are rooms and beds allocated?
The price corresponds to an individual place in a shared room with a bunk bed. The Surfhouse also has one double bed. If you are travelling as a couple and would like to use it, contact us when booking and we will confirm whether it is available. The request is subject to availability and does not guarantee allocation until Carving Social Club confirms it. If no couple requests the double bed, it will be allocated by lottery among individual participants.
