Surf Praia da Vieira

Praia da Vieira - Portugal This beach break features both right and left waves over a sandy bottom, delivering fast and powerful surf conditions. Located 12 km from Marinha Grande, it offers instant access with a short walk of less than 5 minutes. The optimal tide for surfing is mid tide, particularly during rising and falling tides, with favorable swell from the north and northeast. Praia da Vieira is known for its tranquil atmosphere, making it a hidden gem between Nazaré and Figueira da Foz. Arriving early, around 6 A.M., is recommended to avoid the ultra-crowded weekends, as weekdays see only a few surfers. While the local bar, Taskinha, is a must-visit, be prepared for higher prices. Surfers should be aware of potential localism and pollution issues, which can affect the overall experience.
