A few meters away from Supertubos<\/a> and next to the pier of the port of Peniche we find this amazing right handed that can fulfill the expectations of those looking to get barreled. Molhe leste is a very local spot that can give good surf to any level: even schools take beginners here for classes when swell is small. However, when swells are big and Molhe Leste’s barrels start working, it is definetely a spot for just advanced and pro surfers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Spot description<\/h3>\n

Molhe leste is a fast and powerful right wave breaking next to the wall of the Peniche fishing port<\/strong>. A classic image of Molhe Leste is what you can see in the pictures: waves breaking in front of the graffiti of a wave painted on a wall with the town of Peniche in the background. This image tells you that you are at Molhe Leste.<\/p>\n

Molhe Leste, because is behind the dunes of the beach and next to the port walls, is protected from big north swells and also from the wind. It is a hotspot for local surfers and bodyboarders, that paddle into the barrels one after the other. So yes: there’s a bit of localism here, but usually if you wait for your turn and respect the locals you will be fine.<\/p>\n

Sometimes schools take beginners to practice here, using the powerful whitewash that appears when the spot is working.<\/p>\n
