Guincho Beach, Portugal (Praia do Guincho): estatísticas meteorológicas e história do vento

When we surf a wave we are relating to more than just water moving in various different ways and shapes. Waves are pure energy in liquid state which can provoke pleasure or fear, joy or frustration, victory or defeat but always a feeling of interior well-being at the end of a surf day. This direct relationship with nature and its countless sensations make surfing something so unique and special that only someone who surfs is capable of feeling it. This has been our passion for over 20 years and it is a very important part of our lives. Making it possible for other people to discover this new experience and prepare them to deal with the sea in its various conditions, led us to open the “Guincho Surf School” in the summer of 2000. Come and catch some waves with us!

As aulas podem ser ministradas em qualquer praia da área de Lisboa, desde que esta reúna as condições de segurança mínimas admissíveis. A escola base é na praia do Guincho, no entanto como algumas vezes não é possível ali dar aulas devido ás condições, mudamos as aulas para outras praias da zona da Caparica, Lagoa de Albufeira ou Alcochete para facilitar a aprendizagem do aluno. Por isto podemos dizer até que a escola é 100% móvel, dando aulas onde as condições são melhores.

Surf classes and courses are with qualified instructors and we aim to teach you to surf and at the same time provide safety and fun. Our surf instructors speak various languages and are ready to help you whilst having your surf lessons and on the beach if you have any questions. We provide all equipment with the surf class/course price and you can keep all your personal items in the surf school. We look forward to teaching you to surf at our fantastic beach.

We were born on waves and grew up on the mountains. This is our place and our passion. Turn your vacation in Portugal, into a journey of discovery and adventure in Cascais and Sintra.

Since 1983 we have been related with water sports, windsurfing as a competitor since the age of 13 , as new sports on the ocean emerged the connection was natural and we grew or range and activities like Kitesurf, Paddle Surf, Bodyboard and more. With time a project grew from a small garage to a full shop and import/distribution business, with over 18 diferent supplyers and brands currently, a shop of 125 sqm, and last a Guest House, all located 2km from Guincho Beach our home spot.

GWF is more than a company, it's a way of life. At the age of five I felt already the calling of the Sea, since then it became my playground, riding my banana board, skiing behind my fathers boat, or just fishing with the familly on our holydays, and weekend activities. Time passed, new sports arrived and we kept always trying what appeared, wakeboard, surf, windsurf, kitesurf, paddlesurf, bodyboard, only to name a few.

We are a fully licensed and insured kitesurf school and officially registered. All our instructors speak English, Spanish and Portuguese fluently, are highly qualified by IKO and have several years experience in teaching of kitesurfing. Our professional and experienced instructors will guaranty you a great progression during lessons and will get you kiteboarding in short time and with 100% of safety and fun!
