Character
01Praia de Mira is defined by broad left + right central-coast beach peaks over shifting sand banks. The shape can change with swell angle, period and the active section, so the live score should always be paired with a visual check from shore.
Best setup
02W–NW swell, e–se offshore and moving mid tide · bank dependent form the profile baseline. SWELLRADAR treats 0.5–2.1 m as a working range, not a guarantee of breaking-wave size.
Lineup read
03Match the active peak to your ability and leave space for other surfers in the water. Pay particular attention to rip currents, shorebreak, shifting peaks. Local signs and advice always take priority.
