This is why autumn in Ericeira. Swell lined up, nobody out, water still 19°C. If you've been waiting for the right week to come down — this is it.

About
A UK-based surf community connecting intermediate surfers through regular coaching weekends in Cornwall and annual trips to Portugal and the Canaries. Founded by two surf coaches who wanted a non-intimidating space for adult learners to progress steadily. The collective organises monthly meetups alongside its longer travel programme.
Why join this community
Ocean Collective was built to be a non-intimidating space for adult learners. The pace is supportive, the feedback is constructive, and nobody judges where you are in your surfing journey.

Forecast looking perfect for this weekend — 4ft+ NW, light offshores through Sunday. Who's coming down? Drop a comment and I'll share where we're meeting.

Best swell session in months. Water's still warm enough to go boardshorts. Coxos on a clean day is unlike anywhere else in Europe.

“Finally found a surf community that isn't intimidating. The coaches are patient and the group energy is brilliant.”

“Great for someone past the lesson stage but not yet confident enough to book alone. Exactly the gap filled.”
