About Ericeira

Furnas, in its sheltered corner, can often be the only place working in a big N or NW swell. There's a right hander that breaks out off the headland, but only wakes at a serious size, when it can produce long, rolling, double overhead walls. A powerful wave breaking in deep water. In smaller conditions there are a few peaks along the beach - but not a high quality spot.

Spot Rating

Fun

Poor Perfect

Big, long, ripable walls, stretch and wrap into the bay here on rare days. This is a fickle right point that can be well worth the long paddle and heavy hold downs. There are also mediocre peaks inside the bay that are worth checking in medium swells out of the north.

Shoulder Burn

Medium

Light Exhausting

Easy when small, heavier in big swells.

Water Quality

Fair

Not great.
