Praia de S. Roque Swimming Forecast
Machico · Portugal
Praia de S. Roque scores 76/100 for swimming today at its best ability level (expert). The beach faces SE. A small pebble-and-black-sand beach in a sheltered bay at a river mouth, beside a historic chapel and promenade. The bay's beach break runs over sand and scattered rocks, producing small, inconsistent waves exposed to windswell; the right side is used by beginner surfers and a local surf school. Submerged rocks are a hazard. Best around mid tide on a rising tide. Free access; lifeguards and first aid operate during the bathing season.
