Long, straight, fully exposed Atlantic beach break with consistent banks; fewer crowds than Figueira, watch the rips.

Hazards strong rip currents · powerful shorebreak when overhead

Shared forecast The offshore forecast here is shared with Buarcos, Figueira da Foz — Cabedelo, Figueira da Foz (Claridade), Murtinheira, Praia da Costa de Lavos, Praia da Leirosa, Praia da Tocha, 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.

Nearby spots Praia do Palheirão, Praia do Areão, Praia da Vagueira, Praia da Tocha, Praia da Costa Nova
