Take your surfing further with regular technical work and clear goals from one session to the next.
Surf Coaching Sessions with Miguel Rodríguez are designed for surfers from advanced beginner to advanced level who already have autonomy in the water and want to keep progressing with consistency, motivation and clear direction.
The goal is not to chase perfect conditions or wait for “the good day”. It is to learn to enjoy surfing and the progression process itself, building more resources to adapt better to different types of waves, sensations and situations.
Which Surf Coaching level fits you?
We divide the sessions by level so the technical work, conditions and goals are genuinely useful for each surfer.
1. Advanced beginner
You catch unbroken waves and surf independently. You need clean, mellow and forgiving waves, around waist-high or a little bigger. In more demanding conditions, reading the ocean, getting out to the lineup and positioning yourself becomes difficult.
2. Basic intermediate
You catch waves independently in different conditions, up to around 1 m when conditions are suitable. You are starting to make your first turns, but lose consistency when the ocean becomes more challenging.
3. Advanced intermediate
You catch plenty of waves in almost all types of sessions up to around 1 m. You perform different manoeuvres and adapt to sections. You are looking for more control, power, flow and consistency.
4. Advanced
You surf in all types of conditions and know how to read and adapt to the ocean. You perform manoeuvres with a good technical level and continuity. This level is also suitable for surfers who compete or have competitive goals.
If you are between two levels, initially choose the lower one. It is better to work in conditions and on goals that you can make the most of, and move up a level when needed.
See it, understand it and get back in the water
Each session helps us observe your surfing from the outside, understand more clearly what you are doing and decide what is worth working on next. Then you go back into the water with a clearer idea, something specific to try and a reference that helps you keep progressing over the following weeks.
Continuity is an important part of the process. When you return for another session, we can see what you have integrated, adjust the work and move on to the next point. That way, Surf Coaching does not remain an isolated lesson but becomes a process with real follow-up.
It is especially useful if you surf regularly and want to keep improving with an outside perspective that helps you get more out of every session.

Frequently asked questions
What level do I need for Surf Coaching?
You need to be independent in the water, paddle on your own and be able to catch waves without constantly depending on the instructor. You do not need to be an advanced surfer or compete.
How long is each lesson?
Each session lasts approximately 2 hours. The content and the time spent in and out of the water may be adapted to the conditions and the work planned for that day.
How many people are in each group?
We work with a maximum of 6 surfers so we can observe and work with each person during the session.
Do I need to bring my own equipment?
You can bring your own board and wetsuit. If you need equipment, we can provide it.
Is video analysis included?
We use video when conditions allow us to film the session and when it adds value to the technical work. We then review the footage to help you better understand what you are doing in the water.
Where are the lessons held?
We train mainly in El Palmar and, when conditions make it worthwhile, we may travel to other spots on the Cádiz coast.
How is the time decided?
The time and surf spot are normally confirmed a few days in advance, taking swell, wind, tides and the expected conditions into account.
Can I use a package on different dates?
Yes. The packages are designed to give continuity to your training throughout the season, and you can use the sessions on different dates, subject to availability.
What happens if the conditions are not suitable?
If the sea does not allow the session to be carried out safely or the conditions do not make sense for the planned work, we reschedule the lesson.
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.
