Cantabria

The Surf Camp

Outer Reef Cantabria is based on Spain’s northern coast, surrounded by green countryside and close to wide Atlantic beaches known for consistent surf and a relaxed local scene. It’s a quieter, more spacious part of Spain, ideal for surfers looking to slow down and settle into a steady rhythm of surf, rest and time outdoors.

The camp is set up as an open, social space with room to surf, move, eat together and switch off in the evenings. Days revolve around the ocean, while afternoons and nights are spent around the pool, shared areas and surrounding nature.

The camp is open from May to September, offering a seasonal surf experience shaped by good waves, long days and an easygoing northern Spain atmosphere.
Northern Spain

Beyond the beach, Cantabria offers huge variety. One day you might be surfing consistent Atlantic beach breaks, the next hiking through the green mountains of the Picos de Europa or cycling along the rugged coastline. The weekly plan stays flexible, giving you the freedom to join in as much or as little as you like.

This part of northern Spain is defined by contrast. White sandy beaches sit alongside rolling green hills, while historic towns, coastal villages and cultural landmarks add depth to the experience. From medieval streets and ancient cave art to iconic architecture like El Capricho de Gaudí, there’s plenty to explore between surf sessions.

The Package

Flexible surf stays shaped around how you want to surf
Included
Our Cantabria packages are shaped around the seasons, with each option designed to match the pace, conditions and atmosphere of the time of year. Whether you’re visiting during the quieter shoulder months or the height of summer, both packages offer a complete surf camp experience with room to add extras if you want to tailor your stay.

Surf coaching is structured around three clear progression levels, combined with flexible course options so you can choose how intensively you want to surf during your stay. Groups are organised by level on the beach to keep sessions safe, supportive and enjoyable.

Surf Courses

Short Course

A lighter option designed for guests who want a quick introduction or a refresher during their stay. This course includes a small number of structured group sessions with theory, making it ideal if you want to try surfing or fit sessions around other activities at camp.

Basic Course

Intensive Course

Designed for surfers who want to make the most of their time in the water. This course includes daily group sessions with theory and is focused on accelerating progression through repetition, feedback and consistency. Available during low season, with limited availability in peak summer.
