About the beach

Praia do Norte

Mixed sand and rock bottom with lefts and rights; the main peak is a right over rock on the north side, often in sections. Mid tide is what the guides agree on. Submerged rocks and strong currents: without a school, it is for experienced surfers.

Surfing Praia do Norte

Praia do Norte is a surf beach in Ericeira, Portugal.

What level is Praia do Norte for?

Praia do Norte 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 Praia do Norte?

The bottom is mixed sand and rock. It helps to know where the rocks are, especially at low tide.

When does Praia do Norte work best?

Praia do Norte 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. The beach faces Northwest.
