About Salty Wave – Beginner-Friendly Surf School in Algarve & Porto

Who We Are

We’re surfers. We’re teachers. We’re ocean lovers.
Salty Wave was created with a simple goal: make surfing fun, safe and accessible for everyone — no matter your age or skill level.

With surf schools in Lagos (South) and Porto (North), we’ve helped thousands of people catch their first wave with confidence and joy.
