For us, a long-weekend Surfcamp is not about filling several days with activities. It is about having time to surf, rest, understand what you are doing better and go back into the water with a clear idea to try.
We organise these Surfcamps for adults in El Palmar, whether you have never surfed before or already have experience. Before you arrive, we learn about each person's level, prepare the groups and follow the conditions so the programme makes sense from the first session.
Andalusia long weekend, Easter and other holidays for surfing in El Palmar
The Andalusia long weekend is one of the first opportunities of the year to have several consecutive days and make the most of the surf season in El Palmar. In 2027 we run it from 26 February to 1 March, with four days and three nights combining surf sessions with video analysis, Surfskate and, when conditions allow, Surf Libre with the group.
A few weeks later comes our Easter Surfcamp in El Palmar. It is one of the longer dates of the season and gives us more days to surf and build continuity between one session and the next. In 2027 it takes place from 24 to 28 March.
During the rest of the season we also open editions for the Pilar long weekend, All Saints and New Year's Eve. Each Surfcamp has its own duration and programme, detailed on the page for each date.
The December long weekend has a more technical focus and is dedicated to our Surf Coaching Camp with Miguel Rodríguez, designed for surfers who are already independent and want to work in a more specific way. The rest of the Surfcamps are open to all levels.
The sea does not work to a fixed timetable
A week before, we create the WhatsApp group, ask about your experience and share an initial programme. By then we have already been following swell, period, wind and tides for days to find the times that best fit each group's level.
On the first evening, we explain the programme and look at the forecast together. That way, you are not simply following a schedule: you begin to understand why we go in at a certain time and what conditions we expect to find. If the sea changes, we adapt the plan.
Forecasts change; the Surfcamp does not depend on one forecast
We do not cancel a Surfcamp solely because the forecast shows wind, rain or unfavourable conditions. Models can change right up to the last moment and the actual conditions can end up being better, worse or simply different from what was predicted. We follow the evolution and adapt times, surf area and programme order to make use of the best windows that actually develop.
If actual conditions ultimately prevent an included surf lesson from being run safely and we also cannot move it to another time within the Surfcamp, you do not lose that lesson: it remains pending for 12 months. You can use it later as a standalone surf lesson or apply its fixed value to a future Surfcamp, subject to advance booking and availability. It is personal and cannot be exchanged for cash. You can check our simple 7-day forecast and the full terms in our Cancellation and Refund Policy.
Each session helps you make better use of the next
While you are surfing, it is not always easy to know what you are actually doing. You may feel that you are bending your knees, looking in the right direction or positioning your body correctly and discover something different when you see yourself from the outside.
We use video analysis to turn those sensations into something you can see and understand. Afterwards, Surfskate lets us work on land on some movements before going back into the water. The goal is not to give you a list of mistakes, but to help you identify what you can work on in the next session.
Surf Libre with the group
When conditions allow, coaches and participants go back into the water together, often late in the afternoon. It is not another lesson: we go in without drills, without a stream of corrections and without the pressure to get everything right.
It is a chance to try what we worked on in the lesson, video analysis and Surfskate, but also to share waves, laugh and enjoy the water as a group. When it coincides with sunset, it often becomes one of those special moments people remember from the camp.
We do not turn your days off into a packed schedule
The programme is prepared, but we do not want to fill every hour. With several days available, there is also time to rest at the Surfhouse, visit Vejer, Los Caños de Meca or Conil and eat at some of our favourite places. Some plans are decided with the group depending on conditions and what people feel like doing.
Accommodation is in our Surfhouse in El Palmar, which becomes the meeting point between sessions. In the morning we prepare breakfast for guests and during the camp we share the barbecue. For the rest of the meals we usually go out together around El Palmar and nearby.
You can come solo without knowing anyone
It is very common. Many people book without already having a group. On the first evening we do a simple activity to get to know each other and, after that, surfing, life in the Surfhouse, meals and shared days make joining the group feel natural.
If you come with friends, our 4-for-3 promotion means that when four people book, one place is free. You can check the conditions and other benefits on our Surfcamp promotions page.
If there are more than four of you, message us before booking to check availability and a special group price.
If none of these dates fit you, take a look at our Weekend Surfcamps or compare all Surfcamps for the season.
You can also experience El Palmar for a full week: several days of surfing to build continuity, share the Surfhouse and have time to practise what you have learned. The first date of the One-Week Surfcamp will be 7–13 February 2027 and you can pre-register without paying.
