Use our live beach picker for real-time updates on the day.

West Coast

Praia da Baía dos Tiros is tomorrow’s standout on the West Coast, with the highest overall score at 62.94 and a strong comfort rating of 70.87. Air temperature is a pleasant 20.2°C with water at 14.4°C, but expect strong southerly winds around 29.2 km/h and a solid 2.28 m swell, so this is better for experienced ocean lovers than casual swimmers. It is a top pick for quiet seekers thanks to its very tranquil vibe and steep-path access, but there are no facilities at all and parking is limited, so pack everything you need and be ready for a harder walk in and out.

Barlavento (Western Algarve)

Praia das Furnas leads the Barlavento region tomorrow with a solid score of 57.68 and a good comfort rating of 68.75. Expect cooler air at 17°C and water at 14.7°C, with full cloud cover and moderate south-easterly winds around 19.6 km/h. Swell is fairly punchy at 2.34 m, so it is more of a dramatic coastal walk and photo spot than a relaxed swim day. This is a great option for quiet beach lovers, with easy access and decent parking, but there are no toilets, bars or snacks on-site, so bring layers, drinks and food if you plan to linger.

Sotavento (Eastern Algarve)

Praia de Cabanas de Tavira is tomorrow’s main pick in the east, with a score of 40.91 and the highest comfort rating of the three beaches at 75.75. Air temperature sits at 18.4°C with the warmest water of the day at 15.6°C, plus a gentler 1.36 m swell, making it the most family-friendly choice overall. Winds are still brisk from the south at 18.4 km/h and cloud cover is total, but this spot offers toilets, a beach bar and snacks, and is clearly geared towards families with a top family score of 5. Access is rated hard and parking is limited, so allow extra time for the approach and consider travelling light if you are heading out with kids.
