- prozor
- Early morning before the afternoon wind; summer is often flatter and diveable, winter brings big swell.
- plima
- Low-to-mid tide opens the reef and the entry off the rock platform.
- zaklon
- Sheltered from north wind (Cabo Espichel and the cliff block N/NW). Fully open to the west swell.
- opasnost
- Entry/exit over flat rocks in the shorebreak is the main danger; on swell it slams onto the rocks and there are rips along the reef.
- pristup
- N377 toward Meco, then right onto the dirt road to the parking; walk the cliff path down to the small sand patch and rock platform.
First spearfishing-legal spot north of the park: reef bottom, a known spearo location (Roteiro da Arrábida). The Luiz Saldanha park begins to the south — spearfishing is BANNED inside it.
