Wide dune-backed beach break north of Comporta town; picks up everything the Atlantic sends and gets blown out by the Nortada by midday.

Hazards strong rips in bigger swell · very exposed to Nortada wind chop · remote, no lifeguard off-season

Shared forecast The offshore forecast here is shared with Carvalhal, Comporta, Praia Atlântica (Soltroia), Praia da Aberta Nova, Praia da Costa de Santo André, Praia da Galé-Fontainhas, Praia de Melides. Wave models resolve about 8 km, so neighbouring beaches read the same swell. What separates them is orientation, seabed and tide, not the forecast.
