Shared forecast The offshore forecast here is shared with Praia da Barra, Praia da Costa Nova, Praia da Torreira, Praia de São Jacinto, Praia do Areão, Praia do Palheirão. Wave models resolve about 8 km, so neighbouring beaches read the same swell. What separates them is orientation, seabed and tide, not the forecast.
