What you’re looking at

Best time to check this camera
Porto da Cruz is the north coast's surf beach, so this is the camera to check before paddling out or before a swim in the pools. Calm, glassy water means the pools are open and pleasant; big sets breaking across the frame mean surf is on and the pools may be closed.
Is the north-east swell up for surf, or calm for the pools?
- If the view is clear:
- Glassy water means the sea pools are a lovely swim; lunch in the village after.
- If it’s grey or rough:
- Big sets mean surf is on and the pools may close; swim at Machico instead.
