Season
Best time to go depends on your level above. July, August & September are the peak tourist months.
This is where you surf Europe's best coast line and let the fun begin.There are over 12 surf breaks along the Ericeira coast, with different options for all standards. With so much choice you'll feel like a kid in a sweet shop! The area was introduced in the Stormriders Surf Guide to Europe with the heading "Enter the Heartland".
World Surf Reserve
In 2011 it was awarded the title of 'World Surf Reserve', there are only 2 other places in the world that share the title: Santa Cruz, US and Manly, Australia.
If it is your first surfing holiday to Ericeira then head straight to Foz do Lizandro and Sao Juliao beaches south of town, they are perfect beginner and intermediate surf spots. Closer to town is Praia do Sul. Another great beginner beach breaks. All best at mid tide but surfable at high and low tide also.
For Intermediates you have the reliable and safe reef break Ribeira d'Ilhas, which host the WSL World qualifying series surf championships every year. And for the more adventurous you have the world class Coxos. That's just naming a few, there are too many surf breaks to mention here!
Don't forget to explore further up the coast - 25 minutes away is Santa Cruz and an hour away is Peniche, home to the World renowned Supertubos and host of the Rip Curl Pro since 2009. 30 minutes south of Lisbon is the Cascais coast with the famous Praia do Guincho surf beach. And when north winds are blowing you can venture further south towards Carcevelos beach and the other surf spots along the Lisbon coast.

The surf lessons were really great. All the family were in one class. Alex the instructor was brilliant with the kids.
Our surf instructor Hugo was patience itself – very calm and reassuring despite us all being turned over in the ‘washing machine ‘ a few times. The sun shone for most if the week which made it even nicer
The surf school were brilliant, in particular as Maria arrived with a fractured wrist and they encouraged her to do just what she was comfortable with. The kids are definitely hooked on surfing. The surf school were very good, allowing us to defer our start and provided us with a list of recommended restaurants, all of which proved to be excellent.
The surf lessons were great although they got very busy on the public holiday. The surf school were very relaxed and even though I missed one day they were happy enough to let me go along the following day instead.
