Peniche
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.
Point Break
At a point break, the shoreline juts out into the water to form a headland. A wave that is lengthy, well-formed, and unlikely to close out or break in front of itself is created when a wave strikes a headland or pier and starts to peel down the extended shoreline. Point breaks typically only have one takeoff point and only travel in one direction, so you might have to wait in line to catch a wave. At these specific surf spots, quality prevails over quantity.
