Intermediate : Nothing to surf today. Rest those arms.
Today's score by level (at the day's best, out of 100)
Mythical heavy right-hander — powerful, tubing, for experienced surfers only. Can hold big swell when it's well organized. One of the most respected waves in the Ericeira World Surfing Reserve.
Autumn is the queen season. Winter brings the big sessions, spring stays very quality.
For experts only. Powerful waves, strong currents or technical bottom. Ask locally first.
Direct access from the beach, but mind the rocky bottom. Wetsuit + booties recommended, do not surf at low tide.
Wear an appropriate wetsuit. Scout the currents before you paddle out. Respect the locals and right-of-way. Check weather and tides.
Coxos is rather recommended for advanced surfers. If you're a beginner, prefer a surf school, a small swell and a suitable tide, or look for a more sheltered nearby spot.
The ideal wind at Coxos comes broadly from East: it's offshore, which helps shape and hold the waves. A strong onshore wind generally degrades conditions.
Around Coxos, you can also check conditions at Ribeira d'Ilhas, Pedra Branca, Cave. Compare the scores, wind and swell direction before choosing where to surf.
