Outside daylight — wait for sunrise to surf
Current: 2.8 ft @ 5s • 16 mph wind. wave height is okay but not doing the heavy lifting short period is making things weaker and choppier wind is starting to hurt shape a bit
Wind-blown and soft — 2.8 ft with cross winds chopping it up. Tide shift to low around 5:39 AM could change the picture.

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
