Tucked south of the Sines cape and industrial harbour, this is the Alentejo's Nortada bolt-hole — smaller and cleaner than the exposed points when the north wind is howling everywhere else.

Hazards industrial harbour proximity (Sines port) · occasional turbidity near port · rocks at south end

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