Small cliff-lined fishing-village cove just west of Lagos; slightly more exposed than Luz so it holds a touch more size, still needs a solid wrapped swell.
Hazards rocks flanking the cove · closes out fast when small banks are steep
Shared forecast The offshore forecast here is shared with Praia da Luz, Salema. Wave models resolve about 8 km, so neighbouring beaches read the same swell. What separates them is orientation, seabed and tide, not the forecast.
