Quiet west-facing beach break on the Costa Vicentina between Arrifana and Carrapateira, with rights and lefts over sandbanks. Less crowded than the surf-school beaches nearby, but do not count on a lifeguard.

Hazards rip currents · rocks mixed into the sand · remote, no lifeguard cover guaranteed

Shared forecast The offshore forecast here is shared with Amoreira, Arrifana, Lage do Pescador, Monte Clérigo. Wave models resolve about 8 km, so neighbouring beaches read the same swell. What separates them is orientation, seabed and tide, not the forecast.
