Surf Camp in June
If you’re dreaming of warm water, perfect waves, and island adventures — June might just be the ultimate time to book your surf trip to Madeira. Whether you’re a total beginner or have some surf experience, there are a few key reasons why June stands out as one of the best months to catch waves on this Portuguese island paradise.
At Ohana Surf Camp, we’ve seen how special this time of year is — and here’s why we think you’ll love surfing in Madeira in June:
1. Ideal Weather (Not Too Hot, Not Too Cold)
June brings long, sunny days and comfortable temperatures averaging 22–26°C. It’s warm enough to spend all day at the beach, but without the intense summer heat of July and August. You can surf, explore, and relax outdoors without melting — it’s the sweet spot of summer.
Plus, the water temperature starts to rise, hovering around 21–22°C — meaning thinner wetsuits or even surf sessions in just a spring suit.
2. Perfect Conditions for Learning and Progressing
The wave conditions in June are typically gentler and more consistent — ideal for beginner and intermediate surfers. The winter swells have faded, and the summer brings cleaner, more manageable waves, especially on the south and west coasts of Madeira.
At Ohana Surf Camp, our surf coaches love this time of year because it’s perfect for helping guests feel confident, safe, and stoked in the water.
3. Summer Energy Without the Crowds
June is still considered early summer — so you get that amazing seasonal energy without the full crowds of July and August. This means quieter beaches, more space in the line-up, and a more relaxed, personal vibe at surf camps and around the island.
Want to take a deep breath, meet new people, and reconnect with yourself? June gives you the space to do just that.
4. Island Vibes & Local Culture in Full Bloom
From fresh tropical fruit in local markets to island festivals, hiking, and open-air dining — Madeira in June is alive with color and culture. You’ll experience the best of the island’s food, nature, and friendly locals without the stress of peak season.
And when you’re not surfing? Explore volcanic cliffs, take a dip in natural pools, or relax with a sunset yoga session — our camp blends adventure with chill perfectly.
5. It’s the Best Way to Kick Off Your Summer
Let’s be real: there’s no better way to start your summer than by learning to surf on a volcanic island in the Atlantic.
You’ll head home with new skills, new friends, and a refreshed mindset. Our guests often tell us that their week at Ohana Surf Camp was the highlight of their year — and we know June has a lot to do with that.
