Praia da Bordeira Swimming Forecast

Praia da Bordeira scores 77/100 for swimming today at its best ability level (expert). The beach faces NW. A vast, dune-backed Atlantic beach roughly 3 km long in a protected natural park, reached by a long walk from a cliff-top car park. An exposed sandbar beach break works year-round with lefts and rights, plus a left-hand point break near the northern cliff for experienced surfers, and a sheltered river lagoon at the south end. Seasonal lifeguards cover roughly May/June to October. Rip currents are present; the river crossing is safest at low tide.
