SPOTS

Areia Branca

A small coastal village that sleeps for the biggest part of the year, but comes alive in the summermonths. The surf is nothing spectacular, but the long beach that stretches all the way south to Santa Cruz craves for surf exploration. Prepare to wake up early for clean surf as there is no...

São João - Bolina

To find this spot you have to park your car at Praia da Poca and walk north in the direction of Praia do Tamariz. Somewhere about halfway you`ll see Restaurante Bolina. A wedgy, intense righthander breaks right in front of the Restaurant. For experienced surfers only and please maintain a...

São Lourenço

The Stormriders Guide nicknames this break as `the Portuguese version of Sunset` and that gives a good description of what to expect here. This reefbreak can hold giant surf and is challenging for even the most hardcore chargers on those big N/NW days. A softer righthander breaks on the inside...

Cave

A slab that creates waves for experienced surfers only. The heaviest wave in the Ericiera region, comparable to the hollow mutants mostly associated with Australia or Tasmania. Come and watch the show when the pros are around.

Consolação

Consolação is known for it`s long rippable righthanders that break off the point and the amount of swell size it can handle. But on the northern side of the point is a less known, hollower left that can offer a crowd-free session for goofy footers.

Ribeira D`Ilhas

One of the most consistent breaks in Europe. When it`s epic, Ribeira D`Ilhas boosts a very long righthander with various playful sections: as fun as it gets! Mostly quite crowded, especially in the summer, but on an average day the wave doesn`t connect over the whole length, breaking the wave...

Cantinho da Baia

Very consistent beachbreak with mostly mellow left and rights, which makes Cantinho a good SUP spot too. Side-offshore in the prevailing summer winds makes this an attractive spot for wave-hungry tourists, when most other surfbreaks are blown out on hot summer afternoons.

Pico da Mota

A beautiful stretch of coastline north of Peniche with a plenitude of rippable beach breaks, surrounded by agricultural fields and little or no facilities on the beach. There`s almost always an empty wave to be found here, especially during the smaller summer days, and wind with some south in...

Coxos

The queen of all waves in the Ericeira World Surfing Reserve and one of the most famous righthanders in Europe. Groundswells roll into the small bay and unload on a reef bottom, often with fierce power. The wave changes according to swell direction, period and wind direction, but is always fun....

Crazy Left

A hollow left on the south side of Coxos Bay that can be as challenging as waves get. It can become crowded with bodyboarders on the epic days who drop in deeper than any surfer. Be prepared to get hammered on the bigger days.

Lagide

A classic left pointbreak that works in a plenitude of conditions, capable of holding some size and a bit of wind. Mostly quite crowded due to its central location, big car park, free public shower and the nearby facilities. A small, mellow beginners wave rolls in gently in the sheltered...

São Julião

São Julião works on most swell directions and tides with wave quality depending on the sandbars. A small wave spot that maxes out easily, so a good summer option! But come for dawn patrol, as the waves here don`t like wind. Show respect for the extensive crew of young local chargers.

Pedra Branca

A very hollow left hander that breaks with speed and fierce power on a rock platform with big holes. Starts to break in small summer swell, but can hold up to 3m! It`s potential suicide at low tide.

Furnas

Your last bet when all the other spots in the Ericeira region are huge and you don`t feel like driving. In a solid swell, a hard and quite dangerous wave breaks right in front, off the `Pico do Futuro`. Don`t go over the falls on the take-off or you might get washed up on the rocks. A smaller,...
