Shared forecast The offshore forecast here is shared with Buarcos, Figueira da Foz — Cabedelo, Figueira da Foz (Claridade), 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.
