Surf Sessions

Description:

Inspired by the playful and user-friendly beachbreaks of Baleal in Peniche, this session is designed as the perfect introduction to green waves, flow, and surf progression.

Positioned as the natural next step for surfers moving beyond beginner lessons, the wave offers soft take-offs, slower-moving open faces, and forgiving sections that allow riders to focus on timing, positioning, paddling rhythm, pop-up consistency, and building confidence down the line.

Expect a fun, approachable setup with enough speed and shape to introduce early turns, trimming, and flow, while maintaining a relaxed and supportive environment for progression through repetition.

Much like Baleal itself, this is a versatile and welcoming wave designed to maximise wave count, confidence, and time on rail, helping surfers transition comfortably towards more dynamic intermediate wave settings.

Suitable for:

Beginner to intermediate surfers looking to improve consistency riding green waves, refine their pop-up and positioning, and begin linking basic manoeuvres with control and flow.

Description:

Waist-high open-face waves with a slow peel. This wave is ideal for surfers who can consistently paddle and drop in, who want a cruisy surf, trimming along the open face, generating speed and beginning to perform turns down the line. It can be ridden on high-volume boards like a malibu or mid-length. Great opportunity for longboarders to work on noseriding.

Suitable for: Improving surfers who have completed the Improver Lesson and are comfortable on the reef, or surfers who want a relaxed experience along a perfect open-face wave.

Description:

A level up from Cruiser with gradually increasing speed, power, a steeper take-off and fun carvable pockets, while still keeping things smooth and stylish. Small to medium waves with enough push to generate speed for fun turns, ideal for building flow, working on transitions and practising linking turns with control. Perfect for longboards, mid-lengths or funboards that suit down-the-line surfing with a touch more drive. Expect a fun open-face ride.

Suitable for: Intermediate surfers who are confident trimming along the face and beginning to turn consistently. Ideal for those progressing from Cruiser sessions and looking to build confidence before advancing to Turns sessions.

From 8 years old

Description:

Medium-speed, open-face waves with several steep sections, perfect for carving, pumping, and performing open turns, cutbacks and re-entries on a funboard, a mid-length or shortboard. A step up from Cruiser Plus, offering a range of sections to perform manoeuvres.

Suitable for: Intermediate/advanced surfers looking for a challenge and some fun, able to control their board, comfortable with and understanding the line-up, and able to consistently catch and ride waves successfully.

Description:

Punchy and powerful chest-to-head-high waves ideal for high-performance surfing, for advanced surfers comfortable with quick drops and steep sections. Faster than a Turns session wave, it allows for multiple full turns at high speed on a performance mid-length, fish, hybrid or high-performance shortboard.

Suitable for: Advanced surfers who can take off in steep and powerful waves, looking to build confidence in bigger sections and progress their performance.

Description:

An evolution of our Manoeuvres wave, offering added drive, speed, and more defined sections, without reaching full High Performance intensity. This session is designed for surfers aiming to refine technique, generate more power through turns, and feel comfortable in faster, steeper conditions. Expect a dynamic wave with clean open faces and a more critical section, ideal for practising vertical manoeuvres, re-entries, and flowing cutbacks along the line, all within a controlled yet demanding environment. Performance shortboards or modern mid-lengths are best suited here: boards that handle speed well and allow for precise, responsive surfing.

Suitable for: Experienced surfers who are already confident turning and ready to elevate their rail work. Perfect for those stepping up from Manoeuvres sessions and looking for a more performance-oriented challenge.

Description:

Inspired by the flowing, high-performance walls of Coxos in Ericeira - part of the World Surfing Reserve - this setting blends powerful carving sections with a clean barrel finish, rewarding surfers who can connect rail work, speed, and positioning into one complete ride.

A well-balanced turns-and-barrels setup, the session starts with a quick warm-up before shifting into a more performance-oriented configuration. Expect a clean, open face to set your line and link multiple manoeuvres - from drawn-out carves to tighter top turns - before setting up for a controlled stall into a wide, makeable barrel to finish.

This is a flowing, high-performance wave that rewards timing, rail engagement, and smooth transitions from turns to tube riding, encouraging surfers to stay connected to the pocket from start to finish.

Suitable for:
Advance surfers comfortable in steep, powerful take-offs, capable of linking manoeuvres with control and confidently navigating barrel sections.

Description:

Inspired by the fast, hollow lines of Supertubos in Peniche, this setup is built for surfers chasing speed, commitment, and proper tube-riding flow. 

Fast, powerful and steep waves designed for maximum performance surfing. The session begins with a vertical section ideal for one committed turn, before transitioning into a section with a playful barrel. Expect a dynamic and demanding wave where surfers can link a critical manoeuvre before entering the tube, followed by a final section to finish strong. This setup rewards precision, speed, and confident decision-making. 

Suitable for: Expert surfers comfortable in steep, powerful conditions, capable of executing critical manoeuvres, reading different wave sections with confidence and at ease in strong surf.

Description:

Developed in collaboration with professional surfer Kanoa Igarashi, this signature setting is designed around the speed, precision, and powerful rail surfing that define his approach. Fast, open faces combine with steep, technical sections to create the perfect platform for linking committed turns, vertical attacks, and progressive combinations.

Expect clean walls, critical pockets, and sections that reward timing, flow, and control. Designed for continuous high-performance surfing, this wave challenges surfers to stay connected to the pocket and push their progression through every turn.

Suitable for:
Elite surfers confident in steep, high-speed conditions and capable of linking powerful, committed manoeuvres through critical sections with consistency and control.

Description:

A dedicated Air Wave session, a speciality setting built for surfers looking to take their progression above the lip. Designed for speed, projection, and commitment, this wave delivers a fast, steep face with a running section that sets up perfectly for launch zones you won’t find on standard settings. It runs on one side of the pool only, with strictly limited capacity to keep wave intervals clean and give each surfer the space to line up properly. Expect a high-tempo session where timing, speed, and intent are everything. This is a rare setting, running only on selected dates throughout the year.

Suitable for: Expert surfers only. You must be fully comfortable on steep, powerful take-offs and able to generate and carry speed to attempt advanced manoeuvres and airs.
