The ocean is calm with waves around knee to waist height, suitable for swimming. Water temperature is 18.2°C. A spring suit is recommended for comfort. Visibility underwater is good. Swim conditions are best before mid-morning, when winds and waves are lower. Be aware of increasing winds and waves throughout the day.

For activities, morning offers ideal conditions for cycling and running with light winds from the north. Surfing and snorkeling are also suitable during this period. As the day progresses, winds shift and strengthen from the southeast, making afternoon less favourable for these activities. Kite sports may become viable later in the day as winds pick up. Avoid the strongest winds and highest waves between noon and early evening. UV levels reach 6, so use SPF 50 sunscreen.

Tomorrow will be mostly clear with temperatures ranging from 20 to 33°C. Winds will be up to 15 km/h, gusting 26. There will be no rain. UV levels remain at 6. Surf will be up to 1.1 metres from the northwest. The following day will be partly cloudy with temperatures between 20 and 35°C. Winds will increase significantly, reaching up to 24 km/h, gusting 43.

ZERO POLLUTION BEACH 2026
Three straight years of Excellent bathing water with no detectable pollution — what does that mean?

Selected by the Portuguese environmental association ZERO using official bathing-water monitoring from 2023, 2024 and 2025. The bathing water remained officially classified as Excellent, and all monitored results for E. coli and intestinal enterococci were below ZERO’s microbiological detection threshold throughout that period. The distinction does not cover every possible form of pollution and does not replace current beach warnings.
