Supertubos
A peninsula that catches everything. Peniche is Supertubos, Baleal, Lagide, and a harbour town that smells like fish. The famous picture is the beach barrel at Supertubos. The useful truth is you can usually find a peak that matches the wind.

Worth knowing.
- 1. Supertubos is the hollow beach break south of town. Baleal is mellower and more forgiving. Check both.
- 2. North wind can ruin one side and clean the other. That is the point of a peninsula.
- 3. Autumn and winter are the months. A solid northwest swell is when the photos happen.
