Praia Grande Swimming Forecast
Ferragudo · Portugal
Praia Grande scores 79/100 for swimming today at its best ability level (expert). The beach faces SW. A wide, 627m golden-sand crescent at an estuary mouth, sheltered almost entirely from Atlantic swell by a port breakwater, giving calm water for flat-water paddling, swimming and light-wind sailing rather than surf. Boulders divide the main beach from a smaller section near a fort; low tide allows a walk around the fort, cut off as the tide rises. Windsurfing, kayaking and paddleboarding are permitted. Lifeguards cover June-September; Blue Flag certified.
