Ericeira Swell — Live Now
Live now — holds 24–36 hrs392 watching17°C
A clean north-west groundswell is running 4–6ft with offshore winds at Ribeira d'Ilhas and Coxos. This window holds through tomorrow before onshore winds return.
This is the kind of swell that defines the Ericeira season — powerful, well-organised lines with full Atlantic fetch behind them. Ribeira d'Ilhas is running its best sets of autumn, while Coxos remains world-class for experienced surfers comfortable with a heavy reef break.
Community trips are already landing this week. Guide Henry's group is in the water from first light, with two-a-day sessions while the offshore window holds. Water temperature is still 17°C — no need for a 4/3 yet.
Why it matters
This swell window combines offshore winds and the right north-west direction — a combination that hits Ribeira d'Ilhas fewer than a dozen times a season. The 24–36 hour window is narrow. Move now.

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