About This Break
Consolação is the stretch of coast just south of Peniche where sand and reef meet. The northern end has softer waves over sand that suit improvers, while the reefs to the south hold more power and shape for experienced surfers.
Its value is reliability: facing a different angle to the rest of the Peniche peninsula, Consolação often has clean waves when the wind has ruined Supertubos and Baleal, which makes it a regular stop on any Peniche surf trip.
