Pedras Ruivas (Praia Norte)Praia Norte, Monserrate / Areosa
na granici⛔ Ovdje zabranjeno
danas izložen mrtvom moru u lice
- prozor
- Early morning before bathers, and outside bathing season (1 May–31 Oct), when hunting is banned by the beach. Warmest water — late summer.
- plima
- High water: the tidal platforms and pools fill and you can get past the barrier; at low tide it all dries out with no water to swim.
- zaklon
- The nearshore rock barrier breaks the bigger waves — the most sheltered entry in the area. Shielded from moderate NW swell, but not from due-west swell.
- uvjeti
- Diveable more often than the exposed points thanks to the rock barrier: swell up to ~1.5 m, light E/NE wind. Visibility swings with sediment from the pools and weed.
- opasnost
- The dominant danger is entrapment/impact on the barrier rocks as swell builds: it's calm inside, but on the barrier crest the wave throws you onto sharp rock. Urban beach — many bathers.
- pristup
- In town, by the Forte da Areosa (Castelo Velho); parking close, to the water across the rock platforms. Rocks slippery with weed.
