Ribeira d'ilhas
3rd WAVE
500 meters to the north is the most popular wave of the Reserve, on the beach that is considered the “visiting room” of Portuguese surf.
Located in a valley where a stream flows, its geographical configuration is that of a natural amphitheater, ideal for holding events. It is not by chance that the first national and international championships held in Portugal took place here. Ribeira d’Ilhas is a long pointbreak right (the waves follow the shoreline) that receives all types of waves and works at all tides, being the most consistent wave in the region. With W / NO undulations Ribeira d’Ilhas can provide rights of up to 200 meters in length. It is a very valuable and competitive wave, as it allows the most different levels of approach on the part of surfers.
