Yes — waves every day. Winter bigger swells, summer cleaner conditions. Water 14-20°C.
If you need clubs, yes. If you want focused work, daily surf, tight community — perfect. Lisbon is 45 min away.
Lisbon has more variety and nightlife but 20-30% higher costs. Ericeira has better waves, tighter community, cheaper rent.
In the center, no. For Ribamar/Santo Isidoro, yes. E-bike is the perfect middle ground.
