Spot guide

Surfing Praia da Aguda

Praia da Aguda is a surf beach in Porto / Matosinhos/ Gaia, Portugal.

What level is Praia da Aguda for?

Praia da Aguda 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 Praia da Aguda?

The bottom is mixed sand and rock. It helps to know where the rocks are, especially at low tide.

When does Praia da Aguda work best?

Praia da Aguda 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.
