Best place to learn to surf in Europe?

Question

Hi there..:)

me and my bf want to go abroad (we live in the UK) to learn to surf.. money is an issue so nowhere too expensive ...

mainly we want somewhere with quite big waves that wont let us down when we get there since we are taking a week's holiday and paying to go there :)

we were thinking lanzarote, fuerteventura, portugal or bilbao...

what do you think :)

also, do you know any surf schools??

many thanks x

Answer 1

If you're in south France then your best bet would be Biarritz, France.

Answer 2

Portugal for sure! ;)

The best beaches for surf. Try "Guincho", "Ericeira" just to name a couple. Check on the web. You wont regret.

All the luck!

Biarritz is nice (small waves)

Hossegor is huge

Answer 5

I learned to surf in the south of France, stayed on a campsite which is relatively cheap and the surf lessons are cheap. I went to Gascony Area, Labenne Ocean. Go to the Eurocamp/Keycamp website 'cause you get good deals online.

Cornwall would be good as well, although you couldn't really count on the weather. Also...it's not abroad, but it'd be a cheapish holiday.
