IN BRIEF

Some activities may need advance registration, and sea conditions can change the programme. Participants should confirm eligibility, cost and safety instructions with the organiser before travelling or entering the water.

  • The festival runs from 30 October to 1 November in Sagres.
  • Algarve Surf Clube is organising the event with public and private partners.
  • The programme combines competitive, adaptive and community activities.
01

The weekend is broader than a surf contest

The programme brings sport together with live music, workshops, yoga and a market. Surf activity includes competition categories and an adaptive component intended to widen participation.

A programme announcement does not guarantee that every activity will run unchanged. Wind, waves and participant numbers can affect coastal events.

02

Register and plan for the conditions

Check the organiser's current schedule to learn which activities are free, which require booking and what equipment or experience is expected. Do not enter a competition or adaptive session through an unofficial payment request.

Use live sea and weather information on the day and follow lifeguard or organiser instructions. Spectators should also prepare for exposed coastal weather and limited parking.
