South side of the Baleal tombolo — the Nortada shelter. When the whole coast is blown out by N wind, this is where everyone surfs. Smaller, cleaner, friendlier.

Hazards rip channels at low tide · surf-school crowds · half-submerged rock off the main access · rocks off the island end

Shared forecast The offshore forecast here is shared with Consolação, Molhe Leste, Supertubos (Medão Grande). Wave models resolve about 8 km, so neighbouring beaches read the same swell. What separates them is orientation, seabed and tide, not the forecast.
