About the beach

Apúlia

Long beach of sand and dunes, with A-frame peaks for beginners. Works through most of the tide, depending on the bank. There is a rock in the middle of the swimming area that shows at low tide, and rocks uncovered by erosion.

Surfing Apúlia

Apúlia is a surf beach in Póvoa de Varzim, Portugal.

What level is Apúlia for?

Apúlia 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 Apúlia?

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

When does Apúlia work best?

Apúlia 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.
