Published means a price the operator shows on its own site. Rooms follow when it publishes a grid of them, and the sheet says so when it does not. The rest of our inventory is unread, not rejected.
A Lanzarote surf camp does not feed you. None of the seven serves a meal, not even breakfast, and what you get instead is a shared kitchen, three mini-markets and the fish restaurants by the harbour in Caleta de Famara. It is a different trip from Morocco or Sri Lanka: you eat when and where you like, and the group forms in the water rather than around a table.
Nearly all of them are in that sand-street village, a hundred metres from Famara beach under the Risco cliff, so you will not need a car. Calima, founded in 1996, spreads its students across four houses with a private room each: €435 a week sharing with a friend, €530 alone, and the school picks the house. Red Star sells two hours of lessons a day or four, and four hours in the water is what gets you standing within a week; its published prices cover three nights only, from €229. Volkkan rents two three-bedroom houses with a door that shuts for everyone, €450 a week two to a room or €560 alone, and leaves the teaching to a small family-run school.
On a budget, Yokomosurf sells seven nights in a shared room, five days of lessons and the gear for €355, a hundred metres from the water. Lanzasurf charges €489 for six nights in a dorm with lessons and yoga, and sets up a WhatsApp group before you arrive if you are coming alone. If you would rather learn in French, Momo is a French school in a Canarian house on the seafront, twelve guests at most, at €685 a week. Families with children from six go to Red Star.
Kaboti works the other way round: you sleep in Playa Blanca, in the sunny far south, and the minibus drives an hour north to wherever the surf is that day. For two or four nights with friends who do not surf, that makes sense; for a week where you want the water when you wake up, sleep in Famara.
The wind decides the rest. The trade winds blow most winter afternoons, which is why every school teaches in the morning. Beginners can come any month. If you already stand up, come between September and February, when the swell fills the reefs around the village. The water runs from 18 °C in February to 23 °C at the end of summer.
