Famous sandbank peak on the south side of the Mondego rivermouth — long rights when the bank is aligned, current-affected and sandbar-dependent.
Hazards rivermouth current off the Mondego channel · shifting sandbank · boat/ferry traffic near the harbor entrance · rip along the jetty
Shared forecast The offshore forecast here is shared with Buarcos, Figueira da Foz (Claridade), Murtinheira, Praia da Costa de Lavos, Praia da Leirosa, Praia da Tocha, Praia de Mira, Praia de Quiaios. Wave models resolve about 8 km, so neighbouring beaches read the same swell. What separates them is orientation, seabed and tide, not the forecast.
