Praia do Telheiro Swimming Forecast
Ponta dos Arquizes · Portugal
Praia do Telheiro scores 75/100 for swimming today at its best ability level (expert). The beach faces W. A remote, wild, west-facing Atlantic beach break below roughly 100 m sandstone cliffs. Sandy bottom; hollow, powerful, predominantly left-hand waves suited to experienced surfers, with strong rip currents. Reached via a 15-20 minute steep path descent from limited parking. Entirely unsupervised, no lifeguard cover -- surfing alone is discouraged. Mid-to-rising tide favours the wave; high tide closes it out. The path carries cliff-fall risk and loose rocks.
