About the beach

Matadouro

Reef with rights and lefts, the rights being the best waves; the wave reforms on the inside, where schools teach beginners. Works from mid to high tide. At low tide there is almost no water over the rock, with mussels and sea urchins, and getting out is hard. For free surfing, experienced surfers only.

Surfing Matadouro

Matadouro is a surf beach in Ericeira, Portugal, with 5 surf schools.

What level is Matadouro for?

Matadouro has no fixed level, and that is the question Surf Booking answers every day: the same sea suits a beginner and does not suit an advanced surfer, or the other way round. On this page the sea at this beach is read hour by hour and by level — beginner, intermediate and advanced — for the next 7 days, and the verdict is this beach's, not the region's.

What is the bottom like at Matadouro?

The bottom is reef. It can produce better-quality waves but calls for experience and respect for the tides.

When does Matadouro work best?

Matadouro is an exposed beach that picks up much of the Atlantic swell, so it works often through the year. It is usually best with swell from NW-W. The beach faces Northwest.

What is the best tide to surf Matadouro?

Matadouro tends to work best around mid tide. Check the live tide forecast on Surf Booking before you go.
