Overview

Baleal Bay is the kitesurfing spot between Baleal and Peniche, 1h15 from Lisbon. This area is world-famous for surf (WSL events at Supertubos). The bay between the Baleal peninsula and Peniche works with both N and S wind. Advanced wave riding — powerful swells, shared with surfers. Not for beginners. Clean breaks and consistent conditions make this one of Portugal's top wave spots for kite.
