Ribeira d’Ilhas, just 3 km north of Ericeira, Portugal, is a renowned surf spot known for hosting prestigious surf competitions. Surfers cherish its gentle right-hand point break over the reef and cobblestones, suitable for all skill levels. Here, long, peeling waves provide a canvas for surfers to refine their skills. Larger swells bring heavy waves and strong currents, adding an element of challenge. Despite crowds, multiple peaks on an average day reduce congestion. Tides are favorable most of the day, particularly during mid-tide. Best conditions include east winds and west or northwest swells, benefitting from offshore winds in the valley nearby.
