FAQ

How is the weather?

Oceanic weather is known for its changing nature. You can have 4 seasons in one day, so come prepared. During Spring months you can have temperatures that go from 15°C to 25°C.

How is the water temperature?

The water temperature goes from 13°C to 20°C. It's chilly, let's say. Anyways, this basically depends on the ocean currents that can change without asking permission, bringing colder or warmer waters to the coast line. But as a rule, with a 4/3 wetsuit you should be alright.

Supermarkets, Restaurants & Pharmacies.

Within 2.5km from the resort, you find Ferrel. This is the town that gives support to the Baleal Beach area. A very small local town that offers simple solutions for what you might need. Small supermarkets, few restaurants and cafes, a couple of pharmacies, we will drive through Ferrel every day to go surfing. If you forgot your toothbrush, we have you covered ;) 9km away, in Peniche city center you have bigger supermarkets and markets. Don't expect anything too fancy, Peniche is a fishing town and it has kept its character through the years.

What to pack

As we said, Portugal with its Ocean climate, can be pretty unpredictable. So we are making a small list of things you don't want to forget.

Beach essentials: Flip flops, bikinis, beach towel (the ones on the resort are for the shower), suncream +50 and a reusable water bottle.

Skate essentials: Comfortable shoes for skating, comfortable pants and your best attitude! ;)

Yoga essentials: Comfortable pants and sport clothes, remember you can wash your clothes in the resort.

Be prepared: We won't get tired of repeating the same. The weather is changing a lot. You can be in shorts and t-shirt in the morning and out of the sudden you will need to put a wind jacket on...

So: A wind jacket, shorts, t-shirts, some jeans and whatever you feel like wearing. We are not going fancy, it is gonna be a very casual week with your sisters. Still, if you fancy to go out one day, come prepare to dance!
