Open Atlantic beach between Nazaré and São Martinho do Porto, facing north-west and fully exposed to the swell. Check the surf and the flag before you swim.

Hazards rip currents · powerful shorebreak in winter swells · strong onshore nortada in summer

Shared forecast The offshore forecast here is shared with Nazaré — Praia (town beach), Praia do Norte / Nazaré Canyon. Wave models resolve about 8 km, so neighbouring beaches read the same swell. What separates them is orientation, seabed and tide, not the forecast.
