Surfing in Peniche (Complete Guide)

Back in January, I spent a couple of weeks in Portugal. Peniche is one of my favorite places in Europe, and in this video, I give you all the information you need for surfing in Peniche. I didn’t score epic waves this time, but the conditions were clean, the sun was out, and it was a sh*t load warmer than the UK. Enjoy the video, and please like and subscribe!! Yew!

Hope you enjoy this informational guide to surfing in Peniche! It's a truly epic slice of Europe and I hope you all get to experience it if you haven't already!!

[@jengoesadventuring]

Hey buddy!! Literally just planning my first ever trip to Peniche and look whos video popped up! Hope evrything is going well in your little slice of the world! Cheers for the tips, im heading to Portugal in June if you are about :D

[@JoeCPT78]

Just got back from a trip to Peniche after watching this video. Very little swell but made the best of it. Locals were horrendous, deffo killed the vibe but other than that, great food and cheap beer

[@EvanThomas]

Great video! Going tomorrow to watch the WSL and surf.

[@danielkennedy1367]

This is the video I needed. Off for a solo surf trip to Peniche in June. Thanks so much for the info.

[@DanHarmon123]

Hey Daniel! Sick, hope you found the info helpful; you'll have a wicked time there. Should be heaps warmer then also!!

[@joeroche552]

Just left the surf lodge, solid call mate! The family are lovely and felt proper chill and at home

[@alexandernekipelov394]

Thanks a lot for that video and also for Ericeira one! So comparing Peniche and Ericeira what would you recommend for intermediate surfer in Septemeber? And also could you share what service or app do you use for surfing forecasts now?

[@lucashildreth5692]

Learning so much !

[@DanHarmon123]

Thanks, Lucas! Glad to hear it!!

[@user-tm8lu7no9n]

Portugal 🇵🇹 amazing waves to surf. ✨️❤️😂

[@DanHarmon123]

For sure!!

[@elliottjonesmusic]

Thanks for the video! Just booked for WSL in March.. might need to start training 😝

[@DanHarmon123]

Hey Elliot! Epic mate, excited for you... Haha good idea, could be some tubes around then!!

[@andrespeniche5910]

I love Peniche

[@SF-wr4zn]

Hey Dan, going in January 24 for a wee boogie trip. Thanks for the heads up 🤙🏼

[@DanHarmon123]

Epic!! You'll get so many waves at that time of year!!

[@bigben007ch]

Glad you didn't disclose the nicer reef breaks around and sticked to the common ones. Fun video, keep the nice work and the good vibes!Btw, I have morocco on the Agenda for new year, but some targetting some sweet uncrowded (less or not known at all) spots... Anyway, have you been there already?

[@DanHarmon123]

Hey mate! Only well known names mentioned on this channel haha!! Stoked you enjoyed the video and yes I have been to Morocco a while ago!!

[@michaelrobinson5268]

Hey Dan, Thanks you for the video. I saw your one on Ericeria. Is the town big enough to keep my family happy while I get a session in? Ericeria seems like it may be too big in October for my level. I like that this place has sheltered options if the swell is up too much for me.

[@DanHarmon123]

Hey Michael! Yes for sure! Ericeira is a pretty big town and there are heaps of beaches and places to hang out in town. Loads of restaurants, cafes and bars too! And yes, in town there are a few sheltered spots. Furnas, by the harbour was the most protected I saw with people surfing.

[@irievibes82]

Sick!!

[@DanHarmon123]

Thanks mate!! Such a wicked part of the world!

[@southafricanvideos2790]

Hey man. Appreciate the insightful videos you post. Planning on a trip to ericiera and peniche late april into may. Do you know what the conditions will be like around that time ? Not to bothered on surfing 8ft plus waves more looking to surf fun beachies and then head down the coast when a swell arrives to surf the point breaks ect. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

[@DanHarmon123]

Hey mate! Glad you found it helpful :) Yeah late April/May will definitely have waves, you wont have a problem with swell!! So it would be more a case of timing where you go with the good winds and swell size!!

[@MrTheGiant]

I know I`m a bit late to the party but....mate how the freaking hell did you managed having a session at beautiful supertubos with seemingly no one out? I lived 2 years in Peniche whilst working as a Surfinstructor almost 15 years ago and I never ever saw that happen! However, I really like your spot documentation around the globe! Keep inspiring us all with more footage to come!

[@DanHarmon123]

Hahha yeah that's a good question ahhah! The chart for the week was pretty small and definetly not a proper Supertubes day, but there were just these little wedges everywhere! I just went down there every morning for first light and usually got an hour or so with no one!! Cant wait to share more :)

[@marcuskristensen9034]

sick video man! i also like doing my thing from time to time. Do you know if its still worth flying in during European Summer?

[@DanHarmon123]

Hey mate! Yeah i mean I've never been there in summer! But iI think theres' always something to surf, so check the chart and make the call I reckon :))

[@pedromaziluprata6712]

waves aren't as big but you'll get the north coast mentioned in the video with ideal conditions. when its too big in Peniche you dont bother checking north as its too much size. In the summer you always find north really good and usually Baleal and the whole bay

[@moikiemcsgandmore6472]

How much did it cost you to bring your surfboard on the plane? What airline did you fly?

[@DanHarmon123]

Hi mate! For this trip, I flew with TAP Portugal. I think it cost around €50 for boards... Don't quote me on that though!

[@penquin9872]

I need help. I just checked the flight ticket…it’s about 400 euro… is it normal to go Peniche at this price from TAP?

[@DanHarmon123]

Is that for a last-minute ticket?? And from which city??

[@LHollan]

Beau ❤☀️🌊⛱️🏖️🏝️🐚👙

[@Geriya]

Hey dude, I am a Sri lankan Digital Nomad travel across portugal. Do you know the cost for surfboard rental around Peniche?

[@DanHarmon123]

Hey Asi! I'm not sure of the exact cost! But you can rent them on the beach at Baleal. I can't image it'd be more than $30 for a day!!

[@masolino616]

hi mate , can i ask you something about the car rent? i'm coming to portugal next month, i need a car and i'm wondering if you payed the injurance online or you waited to be in lisbon. basically more info about the car rent . thanks!

[@masolino616]

coverage**

[@masolino616]

and if you cn explain me the fact i need a credit card / pay the franchise. thanks

[@DanHarmon123]

Hey mate!! Yeah, I never pay for the insurance before hand. I just do it at the counter, and on super tight budget trips, I haven't even used it, but I don't suggest doing this hahaha!! But yes, usually you need a credit card (in your own name) to take the car out :))

[@fabriciodossantosfranchini9540]

hey my brother, thank you for the video, it contains very good travel tips. Can you help me with good free places for camping in peniche?

[@DanHarmon123]

Hey mate!! Stoked you found it helpful! And yes, if you're camping in a car/van, there's a free camping carpark in the middle of town, just search camping Peniche on Google Maps and there's a large square car park that always has heaps of RVs in it. Its free and allowed!!

[@robertojamesramsay8483]

Coxos at Ericeira is a must

[@DanHarmon123]

YES! That place is sick also, next video is Ericeira haha ;)

[@roguedesigner566]

Well, Peniche is well known for its extreme localism, but people shouldn't be allowed to claim they own waves - so go there ignore them and have fun!

[@DanHarmon123]

Yeah I've heard some stories of how bad the localism can be and that's one way to deal with it hahah!!

[@alexandremondaini]

50 Euro? Hard to believe

[@user-vr9sm1yf3p]

Surfing seems great, if it weren't for the surfers.

[@guybartlett9587]

Peniche locals not happy about this😮

[@DanHarmon123]

Hahha, I think they'll still take their waves...

[@jonathanwalmsley8241]

Tool

[@DanHarmon123]

Hey Jonathan, Super helpful comment as always. As I've suggested before, by commenting and watching these videos, you're literally paying me to make more, so the only solution I can think of is to not watch them.
