The monitors themselves advised against going to school in August, with that I think I say it all. Due to the great overcrowding in summer, the beach is completely taken over by this school and the classes are quite massive (by extension, there are many students in the water too), do not expect great attention from the teacher. Nobody assures you to have a wetsuit of your size or a suitable board for you, again due to the problem of overcrowding.
However, the monitor that touched me was quite good and did everything that the circumstances allowed. Of course, and he said it himself, that in a school with 40 monitors there are many others that leave a lot to be desired.
If you want to learn to surf, I advise you not to go to Somo, or at least not in summer. If you want to go to Somo and in summer, then choose another school.
