Jutting out into the Atlantic on a rugged peninsula, Peniche offers a 360-degree swell window and an incredible range of surf spots facing different directions. From the iconic barrels of Supertubos to more mellow reef and beach breaks along the coast, this region is a year-round playground for surfers hungry to explore and progress.
With water temperatures ranging from 14°C to 24°C and air temps climbing from a mild 15°C in winter to a scorching 35°C in summer, Peniche consistently delivers ideal conditions.

Each morning after breakfast, your experienced local guide will take you to the best surf spot of the day, based on wind, swell, and tide.
