Spot notes

Photographing surf in Ericeira

Ericeira is a natural base for a surf session on the west coast. Within a short distance there are waves for different levels, tides and swell directions.

Conditions

The choice of peak depends on tide, wind and size. A local read before the session helps avoid missing the best hours.

Photo angle

Cliffs, dark rock and blue water create strong contrast for editorial photo and video.

These notes are guidance only and do not replace local assessment, experience or ocean safety rules.

Surf photographer in Ericeira: how it works

Ericeira is a World Surfing Reserve with enough peaks to find a wave in almost any swell. Ribeira d’Ilhas, Foz do Lizandro and Coxos are minutes apart, so we can change peak without losing the session.

I shoot from the beach with a telephoto lens, so nothing changes for you: surf as usual and I take care of the rest. We agree on the spot and time the day before, based on the swell, wind and tide forecast.
