Our lessons run in the morning, before the wind picks up, on a sheltered beginner beach on Banderas Bay. Water is 22–25 °C (72–77 °F) in winter and 28–30 °C (82–86 °F) in summer. A rash vest is enough most of the year; kids and anyone who feels the cold get a shorty wetsuit from January to March.

Group or private?

Three surf questions

I've never surfed. Is that OK?

Yes. Most of our guests are first-timers. We start on the sand, then go into gentle waves on soft boards. Most people stand up in the first lesson.

Do I need to swim?

For surf, you need to swim 50 m (about two lengths of a hotel pool) and float without help (private lessons: be comfortable in waist-deep water). For snorkel, you need to swim without help. For boat trips, no: everyone has a life jacket.

What if there are no waves?

We move you to the beach where the waves are kindest that morning. If it's still not right, we move your lesson or refund it.
