Start at Arrifana today, though Praia da Bordeira and Praia do Amado read exactly the same in the forecast right now, what separates them on the ground is not yet known to us. The swell is wrapping in from the right direction and the north wind is holding cross-shore, so the bay should stay clean even as the open coast gets rougher. You're looking at thigh to stomach high, which is modest but real, and the falling tide is moving you towards the sweet spot for the point. Water is 17°C and the groundswell is solid, so if you're going out, the window is now.

By mid-afternoon the wind swings to north-north-west and strengthens to 20 kilometres per hour, while the swell fades to ankle to thigh. The session is essentially done by lunchtime.

Tomorrow holds fair conditions through the evening, probably ankle to waist across the area, so much the same size as today but a touch smaller at peak. The forecast is honestly uncertain at this range, so tomorrow is worth watching as the day unfolds rather than banking on now.
