Praia do Martinhal Swimming Forecast
Sagres · Portugal
Praia do Martinhal scores 77/100 for swimming today at its best ability level (expert). The beach faces SE. A sheltered, SE-facing sandy bay about 650 m long, shielded from the dominant Atlantic swell by a headland. In summer the Nortada trade wind flattens the water, making this a flat-water windsurfing and kitesurfing venue. The sandy bottom slopes gently, with a rocky area at the eastern end and limestone islets just offshore. Blue Flag certified with summer lifeguards. Winter south winds bring chaotic shorebreak and strong currents.
