Praia da Alagoa Swimming Forecast
Porto da Cruz · Portugal
Praia da Alagoa scores 75/100 for swimming today at its best ability level (expert). The beach faces NE. A compact, NNE-facing black-sand beach backed by green cliffs, with a beach-and-reef bottom producing a left-hand reef and a right-hand wave near volcanic rock on the east side, regarded as a beginner-to-intermediate surf spot. Rarely crowded, with autumn and winter the most consistent season. Strong currents make swimming hazardous for non-surfers, and rocks are exposed at lower tide; mid tide on a rising tide is best. No confirmed lifeguard.
