Surf camp Andalucia is located in the lovely village of Conil de la Frontera, in the Cádiz region along the Costa de la Luz, in the South West of Spain.

The region receives a consistent Atlantic Swell and is a suitable surfing destination for both beginners and advanced surfers. One of the key benefits with this surfing destination is that it receives more than 3000 hours of sunshine per year and at the same time it is fairly uncrowded.

Another benefit is that the area offers surfing at remote, widespread beaches with white sand and crystal clear water, unusual at other European surfing destinations. The exotic and remote atmosphere sometimes makes you feel like you are not in Europe at all.

Conil is a typical Andalusian village, where the Arab influence has left its mark in its narrow streets, low houses by white walls, patios and small squares. It is a popular getaway destination for the Spanish people, which give you a good opportunity to experience the true side of Spain. As fishing has played a major role in the history of this village for centuries you will find some of the most delectable fish restaurants with very reasonable prices. If you are staying here during the summer months you can also enjoy a very vibrant nightlife. The staff at the camp will make sure you get integrated in the local community by introducing you to the town and culture.

A short walk from the accomodation will take you down to the beach Los Bateles, where most surf lessons take place. Just a 10 min drive from the surf camp is the beach of El Palmar. This is considered to be one of the most beautiful surf beaches in Europe, but it is still an unexploited area.

If you are into exploring the area further it is only a short drive to go clubbing in the city of Cadiz, tasting some Sherry in a bodega in Jerez or mingling with the apes in Gibraltar.

Andalucia has a hot Mediterranean climate with consistent sunshine and very little rain. In the summer months (July, August and September) the air temperature usually stays between 25ºC and 32ºC, in the winter months (December, January & February) it is colder (around 15 ºC) and in the spring and autumn the temperatures stays around 20ºC.

During the high season months of June - September we can only accept bookings for full weeks, with arrivals/departures on Sundays.

The surf school is also completely mobile meaning that lessons can be hold at the most suitable beginner wave in the area, depending on daily weather conditions.
