West Coast South Zone Coxos Coxos Bay lies 10 km north of Ericeira, near Ribamar. When one enters Ribamar coming from Ericeira by car, there is a long straight. At the end of it, near a windmill there's a junction. There turn left and keep going until you reach the sea. The bay you'll find there on your right is not what you're after: Coxos is on the left, next to the villa. For me, this is the most beautiful and the most challenging wave you can find in Portugal. The formula for a classical day here is: (offshore breeze)+(northwest 4m swell)+(rising tide)=Long tube rides!!! Even when conditions are not this great, you can still enjoy the power of Coxos rights, provided the swell is not under 2 m and the wind is cooperative. The peak lies near the northernmost part of the bay, and people usually go out from the center where there is usually a confortable channel. The rock bottom guarantees the quality of the wave all year round. A word of advice: you do not want to be caught inside under serious conditions.
