Beach by the Sagres fortress, sandy, with a point of lefts, rock on the west side and submerged rocks. On a small swell it works for lessons; above about 1.2 m it gets heavy and hollow. Strong currents.

What level is Praia do Tonel for?
Praia do Tonel 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 do Tonel?
The bottom is mixed sand and rock. It helps to know where the rocks are, especially at low tide.
When does Praia do Tonel work best?
Praia do Tonel 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 W-NW. The beach faces Southwest.
