Belgas Surf Spot Guide — Peniche, Portugal

Belgas is an exposed sandy beach break with shifting banks and scattered peaks breaking both left and right. Waves are fast and fun, with typical rides under 50 metres and occasional 50-150 metre rides on good days. It can produce rideable surf below 1 metre and hold 2 metres or more. North swell and southeast offshore wind provide the most consistent setup, and the break works year-round. The beach is suitable for varied ability levels, with multiple peaks used for lessons and independent surfing.
