Local Knowledge & Surf Guide

Local Knowledge

Reef in Ericeira is an exposed reef break known for its fairly consistent surf, though it tends to go flat in summer. The wave works best with a mix of groundswells and windswells from the southwest and offshore winds from the east, producing clean and powerful conditions, especially around a rising high tide. It’s a popular and often crowded spot, so expect competition in the lineup. Hazards include sharp rocks and sea urchins. The best time for consistent, clean surf is during winter—particularly in December—when southwest swells align with easterly offshore winds.

Best Swell Direction: SW

Bottom Type: Reef
