Ribeira d'Ilhas
| The most popular spot in the area, partly because of the world class surfing events that take place here regularly. It's located some 5 km north of Ericeira village. Basically it's a bay with rocky bottom, facing west, the swells coming in generally from the northwest. Paddling out is usually straightforward: one get's in on the far left side of the beach near the cliff and paddles straight into the breaking waves. Once past the inside, just go for the peak. Ribeira d'Ilhas handles surf from ½ m to 4 m (2 to 15 ft) and breaks mainly to the right. |  3ft swell lineup at low tide Mar 2001 |
