About the beach

Costa Nova

The beach of the striped houses, sandy, with lefts and rights between groynes. Works on all tides, best on the rise. Watch for rip currents; on a big swell it is very hard to paddle out.

Spot guide

Surfing Costa Nova

Costa Nova is a surf beach in Aveiro, Portugal.

What level is Costa Nova for?

Costa Nova has no fixed level, and that is the question Surf Booking answers every day: the same sea suits a beginner and does not suit an advanced surfer, or the other way round. On this page the sea at this beach is read hour by hour and by level — beginner, intermediate and advanced — for the next 7 days, and the verdict is this beach's, not the region's.

What is the bottom like at Costa Nova?

The bottom is sand. It is the most forgiving bottom for learning and for wipeouts, though the sandbanks shift through the year.

When does Costa Nova work best?

Costa Nova is an exposed beach that picks up much of the Atlantic swell, so it works often through the year. It is usually best with swell from NW-W. The beach faces West.
