“Can you surf in the winter?” is a question we often get. The answer to that is Yes!
The skies may change and look gloomy but the waves are still available for fun surf sessions.
Many of our monthly members use winter to get surf fit. Want to know more about our monthly membership options? DM us the word Member for more information.
Gareth and Lucy didn’t let the rainy weather stop their surf experience and neither should you this winter.
Your 90 minutes surf session includes the use of a warm wetsuit and surf booties plus great surf instruction.
This winter we’ll be open Tuesdays - Sundays, 08:00am - 18:00pm.
Sunset surf session, the best way to complete a day.

Often surf students ask us, “What’s next?” once they completed their first lesson.
Surfing is a sport that you don’t master in a few surf lessons, but an ongoing journey to be patient, learn about the ocean, the waves, surf equipment, surf etiquette, your own body mechanics and even limitations.
Since surfing is a bit of a rollercoaster journey, yes there are ups and downs, for beginners just starting out. But we’ve got you 💪🏽

F***y from France is one of Surf Life’s Monthly Members and began her surf journey in December 2025.
Surfing and waves can be very intimidating if you’ve never tried surfing before, but through each surf lesson F***y’s confidence grew and she became more comfortable in the ocean.
We are excited to see her growth over the next few weeks.
If you’ve always wanted to learn to surf, now is the time and this is the year. Come enjoy the summer sun and small waves, the best time to surf for beginners.
