Conditions at the Arade entrance
The Arade estuary is wide and deep, and the marina basin is sheltered behind its breakwater. The river mouth is a different matter: when a big Atlantic swell runs in, especially against an outgoing tide, the entrance can be rough.
In summer, the wind usually builds through the afternoon as the sea breeze sets in. In autumn and winter, Atlantic weather systems can bring strong south-westerly winds and heavy swell to the Algarve coast, so check the forecast and the official warnings before you plan a passage.
Before you head out
- Check the wind and gusts on the map above, in knots.
- Check the wave and swell height at the river mouth.
- Look up IPMA's warnings for the Faro district.
- Check the tide times for Portimão.
- Call the marina on VHF channel 9.
Safety first: these forecasts are for planning only. Always check the official forecast and warnings before you go to sea.
