About the beach

Surfing Praia das Bicas

Praia das Bicas is a surf beach in Sesimbra / Setúbal, Portugal.

What level is Praia das Bicas for?

Praia das Bicas 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 das Bicas?

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

When does Praia das Bicas work best?

Praia das Bicas has partial swell exposure: it works on many days but benefits from a bigger swell or a favourable direction. It is usually best with swell from SW-W. The beach faces West.
