Loved the right when i was learning, love the left now that i'm surfing...
Atmosphere:
Quite competitive and can get busy and tense when its pumping. Because it's a reef, not many begining surfers go there, leaving the spot to the more experienced surfers
Additional Info:
Even though it's mainly a left handed wave, it has a right handed peak, mushy and soft most of the time. Ideal for learning surfers, but when the waves get over 6 feet, it becomes a good wave for everyone. Easy to escape even when you go left so you don't have to paddle to much.
Location
Loading...Access
When in Peniche, drive to Baleal. It's in front of the Surf Castle (with big pointy roof) with a parking lot usually full of vans.
More simply 5 min from Peniche when driving north, just pull up in the main car park in Baleal There's a shower and some drinkable water. Also a few beach bars.
