Santa Bárbara Surft School
About
Santa Bárbara Surft School serves São Miguel (Azores) from Rua Gonçalo Velho 142 in Rabo de Peixe, a fishing village on the island's north coast.
A 4.9 out of 5 from 178 reviews places it among the highest-scoring outfits of its kind on São Miguel. Rabo de Peixe lies a short drive from Ponta Delgada, and the island's road network links Ribeira Grande, Lagoa and the other towns along the coast. The school runs lessons on this stretch of Atlantic shoreline, with its own site at http://www.santabarbarasurfschoolazores.com/ carrying the details.
Portuguese is the main language, spoken with distinctive island accents and local words, though English is common in surf and tourism settings.
Summer is the driest and warmest season, and the sea is warm enough for swimming from June to September. The islands lie in the path of Atlantic weather systems, so showers and wind can arrive quickly at any time of year, and a wetsuit earns its place. Carnival, religious processions and bull-running on a rope are part of the island calendar for visitors who time a trip around them.
