Foz do Lizandro Surf Spot Details: Your Complete Surf Guide & Travel Planner
Discover the surfing haven of Foz do Lizandro in Ericeira! This beach break, shaped by a river mouth, offers multiple peaks with a left on the south side and an A-frame with lefts and rights in the middle. The north side features rocky areas hosting two reef breaks: Lage dos Tubos and Limipicos.
Foz do Lizandro provides consistent waves, and the left at the river mouth shines in southern winds, protected by cliffs. During optimal sandbar alignment, it transforms into a classy wave with long and hollow lefts.
Ideal for beginners, the beach break is best from low to mid tide, offering fun and easy-to-surf waves, thanks to a sandy bottom. However, with bigger swells, be cautious of strong and dangerous rips. The best swell direction is southwest or west, and east winds work best. Excellent facilities, including a car park, showers, and cafés, make it a popular choice, while the sandy expanses and river give it a unique charm.
Situated in Carvoeira, near Ericeira, the Foz do Lizandro beach boasts the largest sandy stretch in Mafra. Beyond a summer destination, it’s a leisure hub with modern bars and restaurants along an elevated boardwalk, connecting to ample parking. Additional amenities include changing rooms, sanitary facilities, a first aid post, a sports area on the beach, and rental options for beach essentials.
