Surf It Easy
A coaching-focused surf school in Baleal that pairs water sessions with surfskate training and video analysis, for beginners through to advanced surfers working on technique.
Surf It Easy is run by Lourenço, a local instructor whose focus is technical progression rather than one-off tourist lessons. Alongside standard surf lessons it uses surfskate on land to build the muscle memory for turns and board control, backed up with video analysis in the water.
What they run
Single lessons and packages for beginners, intermediates and advanced surfers; separate surfskate lessons; and monthly Academy packages of continuous practical, theoretical and technical training for anyone staying in Peniche for a while. Coaches move groups to whichever Peniche-area beach suits the day and the level.
Where
Based at Selina Peniche on Baleal, about an hour from Lisbon airport, with a skate halfpipe and cafe-bar on site.
Spots nearby
Cantinho da Baia
The most sheltered corner of the Baleal bay, tucked against the Peniche side. Small, soft and forgiving, and the spot most Peniche schools use for a first lesson. Rarely flat.
BeginnersYear-round; small and gentle May to August
Lagide
A long, mellow left-hand reef on the Baleal side of the peninsula, popular with longboarders and improvers. One of the more forgiving reef waves on this coast and a natural step up from the Baleal beach break.
IntermediatesAutumn to spring, but rideable much of the year
Peniche & Baleal
The whole peninsula in one guide: why Peniche works almost year-round, where Supertubos and Baleal fit, and how locals pick a spot by the day's wind and tide.
All levelsAutumn to spring for the biggest, most consistent swell; summer smaller and better for learning
