Tsunami Surf School
A surf school on Praia de Santa Cruz started by two local surfers, with certified instructors and a team that spans coaching, physiotherapy and health. Weekly programmes or single lessons.
Tsunami Surf School is run from Praia de Santa Cruz by two surfers who grew up on the beach. Lessons are taught by certified instructors, and the wider team includes people from surf coaching, physiotherapy and health, which shapes how they run progression and injury-aware sessions. You can book a single class or a weekly programme. Santa Cruz is a long, open Silver Coast beach that is quieter than Ericeira and Peniche and works for all levels depending on the day.

A fairly quiet beach break just south of Santa Cruz. Best on a west to north-west swell with an east wind, with a reef section that works at mid tide. Sources say waist high to double overhead.
