SIMPLE GUIDE FOR BEGINNERS & SURFERSHow waves, wind, and tides work at Ribeira d'Ilhas · Ericeira
1. AVERAGE SIZE & BIGGER SETS
0.6m (Sets up to {height}m 0.8m)
Every 5 to 10 minutes, a group of larger waves ("sets") arrives reaching 0.8m. Always judge the spot by the set size before paddling out.
2. TIME BETWEEN WAVES (SECONDS)
Best from 13 seconds up
Under 8s means weak, messy wind waves. Above 13s means clean ocean groundswell with long walls and much more push.
BEST TIDE HEIGHT:
0.5m a 2.4m (Low to Mid Tide (longest connected walls from the outer boil))
Between 0.5m and 2.4m the wave peels best. Too high tide causes backwash off the rocks/wall.
ENTER & EXIT SAFELY
Safe tide: 0.5m – 2.4m
