While all eyes in Europe have been on XXL Nazare this week, further down the coast Peniche’s answer to Pipeline has quietly been doing its thing. There’s no doubt that when Supertubos is on, it’s one of the best beach break barrels in the world.
Balint Hambalko was on hand to capture the action for the Surf Raw Files YouTube channel. Here’s what he had to say about the session:
“Epic but heavy day at Supertubos, Peniche in Portugal. A 17 second period with north west swell and north east wind was the swell forecast for the day with some big tides. In the afternoon, the wind calmed down and the pushing tide brought in some bombs.”
The WSL will be hoping for similar conditions when it stops in Portugal from 15-25 March. But in the meantime, enjoy some Atlantic winter delights by clicking the link above.
