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

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...
