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.
