Surf: The most consistent of the Sagres beaches is generally pretty average. Lower tidal stages on the push are better as is a W swell. It doesn’t pick up as much swell as the west coast so it is a popular place for beginner/intermediates and the many local bodyboarders. Environment: Highly consistent, often crowded, currents and localism, but the water is clean, and amenities include showers, lifeguard, bodyboard surf school, surfshop and camping in town.
