Photographing surf in Ribeira d’Ilhas
Ribeira d’Ilhas is a consistent right-hander with long lines and several sections. It is one of the best waves in the region for recording a full sequence.
Conditions
Northwest swell and east wind often line up the wave. The tide changes the speed and the connection between sections.
Photo angle
The bay offers a clean angle from the beach and higher points to show the full line of the wave.
