Ribeira d'Ilhas

Ericeira, Portugal
🪨Rocks👥Crowded

Ribeira d'Ilhas is the crown jewel of Europe's first World Surfing Reserve—a long, reeling right-hand point break that has hosted Championship Tour events and produced countless magazine covers. Set against the dramatic cliffs of Ericeira, Portugal, this wave wraps around a rocky headland and offers linking sections that seem to go forever on the right swell. The WSL venue status means crowds can be intense, but the wave's quality justifies the attention. When Atlantic groundswells light up the coast, Ribeira d'Ilhas is European surfing at its absolute finest.
