Beginner basics

Where to go

Foz do Lizandro and Praia do Sul are the friendliest beach breaks in the World Surf Reserve and host most of Ericeira's surf schools. Take a lesson and stay on the inside.

What to avoid

Stay completely off the famous reefs — Coxos, Cave, Crazy Left, and Reef are heavy expert-only waves with shallow rocks. Don't even paddle out at Ribeira d'Ilhas as a true beginner.

Best beginner conditions

Knee-to-chest W or NW swell, 10s+ period, light E or NE wind, mid to high tide. Spring and autumn are the friendliest seasons.
