About the beach
Ribeira d'Ilhas
Right-hand point break over a rock shelf, with long waves, and a venue for international contests. Works on almost every tide, best from low to mid; at high tide the wave gets softer, and at the very bottom of the tide the shelf is close and rocks show.

Surfing Ribeira d'Ilhas
Ribeira d'Ilhas is a surf beach in Ericeira, Portugal, with 2 surf schools.
What level is Ribeira d'Ilhas for?
Ribeira d'Ilhas 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 Ribeira d'Ilhas?
The bottom is reef. It can produce better-quality waves but calls for experience and respect for the tides.
When does Ribeira d'Ilhas work best?
Ribeira d'Ilhas 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 West.
What is the best tide to surf Ribeira d'Ilhas?
Ribeira d'Ilhas tends to work best around mid tide. Check the live tide forecast on Surf Booking before you go.
