Shared forecast The offshore forecast here is shared with Angeiras, Aterro (Leça), Cabedelo do Douro, Cabo do Mundo, Canide (Canidelo), Carneiro, Leça da Palmeira, Matosinhos, Pedras do Corgo, Praia da Madalena. Wave models resolve about 8 km, so neighbouring beaches read the same swell. What separates them is orientation, seabed and tide, not the forecast.
