About Peniche
Peniche is a fishing port on a rocky peninsula on the Atlantic coast of Portugal, north of Lisbon, and its best-known surf spot is the beach called Supertubos, on the southern side. The waves break over sandbanks close to the shore and are often described as fast and hollow, and the beach is also known by the name Praia do Medão Grande. Because the peninsula faces in several directions, the area is generally said to hold surf in a wide range of conditions, with the more sheltered side of Baleal to the north used when the swell is big. The best waves usually arrive in autumn and winter, most often from around September to March. Peniche has hosted an event on the professional world tour for many years. Supertubos is widely regarded as a spot for experienced surfers, and boats generally run from the port to the Berlengas islands offshore.
