PERFECT WAVES IN ERICEIRA | VON FROTH

Ericeira is the first European World Surfing Reserve for well more than one reason. If seven waves are identified as making up the Reserve, there are at least a dozen more worth riding spread around these seven jewels. For this second episode of Portugal Back-to-Back, Nic Von Rupp teams up with Portuguese World Tour rider, Frederico “Kikas” Morais, and a bunch of other European surfing aces, to tackle some pointbreak bombs during a perfect session at Coxos, before paying a visit to the charming fishing village that in recent years has become the surfing epicenter of the Old Continent.

[@svenseifritz7283]

Love Ericeira, been there 3 times for extended periods. Great waves but still has that old fisherman village vibe. Great food and culture too. When it was big I used to stand on the rocks and watch cave, sometimes 3 spits on 1 wave. Heavy does not even describe it!!! My only complaint is that some of the spots get crowded and quite a lot of localism. I understand if you have a kook from Germany but if you can see a guy can surf, give him some waves..... I avoided the really crowded spots and would rather surf waves then be in the water and watch other guys surf waves for 2 hours.

[@armenbrown8719]

I'm here now and it is as crowded with new folks and surf schools, more than any place I have been. The Localism is can be as heavy as the waves. Fingers crossed Pedra wakes up a bit more.

[@danielblack5196]

I was lucky enough to surf in Cascais on a random winter swell that somehow hit it. It was only 3-4 but it was 10-12 that day in Ericeira; we stayed down south because the winds were too gnarly in Ericeira and Cascais was nearly empty and wind protected. I wish we had at least scoped the area because it looks absolutely amazing. That whole area including Lisbon is like the best parts of San Francisco and San Diego combined, but half the price. God I miss it.

[@rzadigi]

This kind of review is exactly what I want to hear! I used to live in SF and also loved the SD waves. We’re living in Japan now but will one day retire in Portugal ❤

[@niclascrane4630]

It's not half the price anymore, it's ridiculous expensive, the local people are all forced to leave their own houses.

Looking forward to spending a month there this June or July. I have to be honest and admit I had no idea what a surf Mecca Portugal is. I spent quite a bit of time in Europe including touring for 2 to 3 months a year when I was in a punk band (cause for alarm). Would have definitely had some stops in Portugal and brought my board if I knew about the surf!

July is prob the worst time of year for waves there though, just a heads up

[@X2UKeith]

@alle yes, but it's still probably better than South Florida in July! But thank you very much for the heads up! Also the trip isn't just for surfing, definitely much more... Hoping to get some surf though! I'm getting old, not sure if I can still handle what the winters are dishing out there 😂

Its just really bad for the Portuguese people and I feel that this is not the right thing to do.

In summer you feel like you can not breathe anymore. You don't see nature anymore, you just see gigantic, disgusting cube house. Surfing in Ericeira can be better compared to Martial Arts. And then don't forget all the rich people from Lisbon flooding the streets with huge SUVs that block this cute small fisher village.. ERICEIRA SOLD OUT
