Shared forecast The offshore forecast here is shared with Altura — Praia da Alagoa, Praia da Fuseta, Praia da Manta Rota, Praia de Cabanas, Praia de Monte Gordo, Praia Verde, Tavira — Barril / Terra Estreita. Wave models resolve about 8 km, so neighbouring beaches read the same swell. What separates them is orientation, seabed and tide, not the forecast.
