The famous rice-paddy-backed beach town break; open and swell-hungry with mellow peaks on smaller days.

Shared forecast The offshore forecast here is shared with Carvalhal, Praia Atlântica (Soltroia), Praia da Aberta Nova, Praia da Costa de Santo André, Praia da Galé-Fontainhas, Praia de Melides, Praia do Pego. Wave models resolve about 8 km, so neighbouring beaches read the same swell. What separates them is orientation, seabed and tide, not the forecast.
