Surf Spot Guide
São Lourenço Ericeira
Leaving the Dois Irmãos Bay behind, and walking a few minutes northward, we will find the São Lourenço beach, located in a bay of large dimensions, with about 1.2 km wide. Near its center, about 300 meters from the beach, is the wave of São Lourenço, itself, the last of those that integrate the Reserve. These rights start on a rocky plateau, forming fast waves with a lot of water mass, due to its peak being located at a considerable distance from the beach. It is usually surfed at half tide and needs N/NO swells, associated with wind from the east quadrant.
