Shared forecast The offshore forecast here is shared with Coxos, Foz do Lizandro, Matadouro, Pedra Branca, Pescadores, Praia do Sul, Ribeira d'Ilhas, São Julião. Wave models resolve about 8 km, so neighbouring beaches read the same swell. What separates them is orientation, seabed and tide, not the forecast.
