Santa Cruz

Located in Peniche, Portugal, Santa Cruz is a popular beach break that works year-round with a mix of groundswells and windswells. The best waves come from the west, and offshore winds from the east create ideal conditions. Suitable for intermediate surfers, the spot offers both left and right-hand breaks that perform well regardless of the tide. Be prepared for crowds when the surf is good, and pack a wetsuit for the chilly 14.2°C water.
