Common questions
Is Ribeira d'Ilhas good for intermediates?
Yes - it is the most forgiving of Ericeira's reefs: a long right with a deep channel to paddle out through, and it hosts World Surf League longboard events for that reason.
What swell does Ribeira d'Ilhas need?
West to north-west groundswell with some period. It starts working at chest high and holds well overhead; on a small day it is soft and slow.
What tide is best at Ribeira d'Ilhas?
Mid tide. Low exposes rocks on the inside; high slows the wave down.
How do I get to Ribeira d'Ilhas?
Two kilometres north of Ericeira on the coast road, with a signposted car park above the beach and a cafe on the sand.
