Peniche, Portugal, is a popular surfing destination known for its consistent surf as at least one side of the Peninsula will always produce great conditions throughout the year. It is particularly famous for the Supertubos beach break, which hosts world-class surf competitions. The best swells arrive in Peniche during autumn/winter, mostly from September to December, big waves are coming in pretty much on a daily basis.
Beach Break
Areas in the ocean where the waves break over a sandy bottom are known as beach breaks. The waves at beach breaks are constantly changing because the sand is often shifting because of tides, currents, and storms. You can be surfing flawless peeling lefts one day and close-out waves the next at the same surf spot. The surf break could be in one location one day and 200 yards along the shoreline the next. The constantly shifting bottom produces a very unpredictable and dynamic surf break. Because they have a softer and safer bottom than reef breaks, beach breaks are excellent places for beginning surfers to practice.
