Every wave pool sells the same thing — easy waves, on demand. We are not interested. Take the hunt, the paddle-out, the difficulty out of surfing and you are left with competence in a box: availability, and connection to nothing.
The pool is not here to protect you from the ocean. It is here to prepare you to use it.
The Cove is training. The Atlantic — twelve minutes away, cold and honest and indifferent — is the exam. We keep the effort in, because effort is the only thing that builds a real surfer, and a real life. We don't cross the ocean. It lets us through.
We don't sell belonging. We attract the people who already carry the water, and let everyone else rise to meet them.
The clubhouse, the pools, the terraces and the residences — one coastline, held together. Renders of the hub as it is being built.
Design — Stefano Belingardi, architect
Architectural renders — indicative of the design intent, subject to development and final specification.
Minutes from the Atlantic, half an hour from Lisbon. Close enough to live around, far enough to feel like its own coast.
Drive times are indicative. The exact address is shared with members on application.
Membership opens the whole coast — dozens of perks. Three of them are the reason to join.
One club, three memberships. Reserve your founding place with 10% today and pay the rest monthly across ten years, from opening. Founders hold half the opening price — the lowest the club will ever offer.
The water first, then the restoring, the family, the gathering. Members' price on the water, members-only hours, members' events across the year.
The year turns through three seasons, each with its own reason to be here. Residence weeks move with them — take them yourself, share them with family, or release them to the club.
Long days, warm water, the family here. The weeks everyone wants — held by priority and rotation.
The Atlantic wakes and the real surfers come. A different peak, for a different tribe — and December, a second summer.
Quiet mornings, clean lines, the coast to yourself. The easiest weeks to book — and for many, the best of the year.
Traveller books first — first pick of the Sun Peak weeks, by rotation.
Global books next — Swell or Dawn Peak by default, and Sun Peak when open.
Sun Peak rotates year to year, so no member holds the same summer week forever.
Give it to your family — your week, in their hands.
Release it to the club — any value returned is on the terms in the rules.
Split it — part now, part later, rather than one fixed block.
A membership is not a subscription and not a room. It is a lifetime membership, registered in your name — your place in the club, with access for you and your household to everything the club is.
A lifetime membership, registered in your name. It continues for life while the membership remains in good standing.
Transfer it or pass it to family — subject to club approval, full payment and the membership rules. A 10% transfer fee applies.
The residence nights run ten years. The membership continues beyond them, for life.
Dues — €100 a month, CPI-linked, funding the club. Not credited back.
Household — principal member, partner and children through age 24. Young Adult membership is available from 25, subject to approval.
Usage — Wavegarden sessions from €60/hour (subject to final pricing); residence cleaning and service charged when used.
After year ten — residence stays become separately bookable and payable; membership continues for life.
Cascais Surf Club is by invitation. Members bring members. A committee decides. The water does the rest. There is no purchase button — only a protocol.
