Beginner basics
Where to go
Supertubos itself is a heavy WSL CT-venue beach break — not a beginner spot. Baleal Norte, the protected north-facing beach 5 minutes north, is where every surf school in Peniche operates.
What to avoid
Supertubos on any size. The closeouts will detonate on you and the rip pushes hard. Even on a small day the wave's power is way above beginner level.
Best beginner conditions
Skip Supertubos and learn at Baleal Norte. Knee-to-waist W swell, light E wind, mid tide. Spring and summer mornings are calmest.
Wetsuit
Wetsuit
Summer setup
Season-based baseline. Water temp varies week to week.
Boardshorts / Bikini
Or 2mm top on windy mornings
2mm Springsuit / Shorty
