Surf conditions

The northern provinces of Minho and Douro have largely skipped the attention of visiting surfers, despite having a super-consistent stretch of coast that grabs the maximum from any swell direction. There’s a wide range of wave breaking surfaces from gentle beaches and rivermouths to sheer slab reefs.

Rcommended wetsuit

3/2mm for the summer.

Avg. water temperature

18 C° during the summer months.

Crowd factor

low to medium especially on weekend. Typically less crowded than the south.

Weather

Summers are sunny and gentle with occasional heat waves or rainy oceanic fronts.

JOIN ROAD TRIP

You will spend the week in a Mercedes truck with a special system that allows the walls and the ceiling to expand upwards, thus transforming the truck into a double-decker hotel on wheels.

Daniela and Eduardo  be your hosts and surf guides for the week. They love surfing and traveling with their Surf Truck... and you will love it too!

On the top floor of the truck you find the rooms: 4 shared double rooms with bunk bed
, and 1 private double room with a double bed. We recommend you the private double room if you're traveling with a partner. Every room comes with air conditioning and a locker.

On the bottom floor you find a living room with couches and a table (and a projector to check the surf footage in the evening!). The kitchen is fully equipped and you can cook your own meals. Also on the bottom floor, there is a toilet and – in the room next to it – a bathroom with a nice warm shower.

On the outside terrace you can chill on the bean bags, relax and enjoy beautiful sunsets.

The Surf Truck maximum capacity is 8 people.

Daniela and Eduardo invented and created the Surf Truck to have the opportunity to explore uncrowded surf spots and find the best waves, travel through natural parks and experience different cultures with a luxurious hotel on wheels that goes everywhere.

This project for them is all about sharing travel experiences, making new friends and connecting with each other, combining surf, nature and adventure in a new way of traveling. A unique experience you will never forget!
