Hazards very rocky beach, take care at low tide · rock and reef bottom by the jetty · submerged rocks

Shared forecast The offshore forecast here is shared with Avencas, Carcavelos, Parede / São Pedro do Estoril, Santo Amaro, Torre. Wave models resolve about 8 km, so neighbouring beaches read the same swell. What separates them is orientation, seabed and tide, not the forecast.
