Coastal water body (PTCOST2) within the Cávado river basin.

Location

Esposende municipality. Coordinates: latitude 41.55417°, longitude -8.79389°.

Season

14 June to 14 September 2025.

Water Quality

Water quality is classified according to Decreto-Lei 135/2009. Monitoring occurs every 3 weeks. No days of bathing prohibition or advisory due to short-term pollution occurred during the 2024 bathing season.

Risks

Short-term pollution is unlikely but may occur due to excessive tributary flow during rainfall events, leading to microbiological contamination, or from sewage treatment plant malfunction discharging untreated effluent. Potential faecal contamination may originate from the Redonda tributary or the sewerage network. Cyanobacteria has a moderate proliferation potential with historical occurrence of blooms.
