PEDRA BRANCA
The first wave we find opposite the campsite of Ericeira, is the Pedra Branca, located at the southern tip of Empa beach. It is a very fast left bottom reef getting ripples from quadrant to quadrant SO W / NO. Due to the shallow bank of the reef being exposed to a very low tide, it is usually surfed from half the incoming tide to high tide. Regular and dangerous, this wave is characterized by an area of fast starts, followed by a tube to the inside.

CAVE
On the south flank of the Bay of Two Brothers, with an angle of coastline still facing south, we find the Cave. This powerful right has only been recently ridden, having gained immense notoriety in recent years because of the spectacle and dangers that entails. It is extremely radical, tubular and risky.

CRAZY LEFT
Along the southern shore of the bay, you will find Crazy Left, a pointbreak that just breaks well with ripples of N and NO. Being too exposed to the north wind, is not a very consistent wave in terms of quality, but when the ideal conditions take place, its walls are quick and tubular, with several sections that provide great speed.

A classic pointbreak setting, with its line of surf along the contour of the coast from start to finish.
