Open sandy beach south of Sines, also known as Praia da Vieirinha. Soft, forgiving beach-break peaks that suit learners and progressing surfers, and the beach is usually uncrowded.

Hazards rip currents and undertow · rocks along the edges of the beach · shifting sandbars

Shared forecast The offshore forecast here is shared with Praia do Monte Velho, Praia Grande de Porto Côvo, São Torpes. Wave models resolve about 8 km, so neighbouring beaches read the same swell. What separates them is orientation, seabed and tide, not the forecast.
