With point breaks, reef setups, and beachies all packed into one stunning coastline, Ericeira is the perfect base for a guided surf trip that’s all about discovery, progression, and scoring unforgettable sessions.

Our Surf Guiding package is crafted for intermediate to advanced surfers who want to maximise their time in the water and access the best waves, with zero guesswork. Over 6 days of guided sessions, you’ll be led by a local surfer who knows every tide, wind shift, and hidden corner of this world-class surf zone. From the playful walls of Foz do Lizandro to the power of Coxos and the perfect peelers at Ribeira d’Ilhas, you’ll be taken to the right break at the right time, every single day.

With its west-facing coastline and consistent year-round swell, Ericeira is a reliable wave magnet.
