Worth knowing: shallow rock shelf, sea urchins, localism.
Coxos is a reef break - the bottom doesn't move, so it breaks in the same place every swell.

Common questions
What kind of wave is Coxos?
The best right-hand reef in Europe on its day: long, hollow, shallow and heavy, breaking over a rock shelf at the north end of Ericeira's reserve.
Is Coxos good for beginners?
No - expert territory, and treated as such by the locals. Ribeira d'Ilhas, a few hundred metres south, is the intermediate wave.
What tide and swell does Coxos need?
A west to north-west groundswell with real period, on a low to mid tide. It starts working at head high and holds double overhead and more.
How do I get to Coxos?
A track down from the coast road north of Ribeira d'Ilhas, with limited parking at the top. Entry is over rock; watch a set first.
