Ericeira
Ericeira is a fisher village on the west coast of Portugal about 40 minutes north of Lisbon. In a few kilometers of coastline, Ericeira – often referred to as the surfing capital of Portugal – offers an impressive diversity of surf opportunities. As a result, the region has constantly become increasingly popular over the past decade. In addition, Ericeira was officially declared as Europes one and only World Surfing Reserve in 2011 plus the fine point break of Ribeira D’Ilhas hosting WSL contests like the EDP Vissla Pro Ericeira.
Reef Break
Reef Breaks have the capacity to produce consistent waves, flawlessly rolling in one after another. The coral reef or rocky bottom is where the wave breaks. Since the bottom of a reef break is not likely to vary compared to a beach break, the wave will almost certainly break over the reef in the same way practically every time. The two key elements that affect how waves break over a reef are swell direction and tide.
