Long, flat, mellow beach curving into Lagos bay east of the headland — the region's classic long beginner/longboard beach, tucked well out of the Nortada; only wakes up on bigger wrapped swell.
Hazards rips on bigger swell · surf-school crowds · summer swimmers on the inside · buoyed boat lanes off the marina
Shared forecast The offshore forecast here is shared with Lagos — Porto de Mós. Wave models resolve about 8 km, so neighbouring beaches read the same swell. What separates them is orientation, seabed and tide, not the forecast.
