Moldes - Molho Leste Local
hello
I am local to Molho Leste, having grown up since a child on this beach.
Ever since I remember, molho leste is a Sewer exit into the ocean, it catches untreated waste from ferrel,the fish factory´s ...
Molho is a beach that was used primarily by the villagers around peniche, Serra del rei, atouguia da baleia, ferrel... and was not considered a top of the cream beach .
on the 70´s surf was discovered, and local surf started to developed .Pedro Black, Leopoldo ,joao coelho, luis chaves, were the pionners on this spot.
A couple of years ago, the village of peniche added 15 meters of big rocks , to keep the sweel from entereing the harbour this ruining this wave .
The peak is now very small and this wave only works with certain sweel and wind directions, that i will not say here.
therefore you can understand why this place is heavy on the localism fenomenon .
I have seen, fights on the water, broken boards, and broken car windows on this beach.
On the week before Rip curl the search, i saw foreign people using this wave like it was theirs, not respecting the locals .
So please , i ask You, to respect the locals and refrain from using this wave.
Here in peniche no objections will be made to you from surfing any spot, except Molho leste .
I say again, you can use the beach , but please dont surf here.

"This is a good wave (possibly best in Peniche) when it works, except for the bodyboarders. I find it strange that they get any respect as most of them have no talent at all (how hard is to lay down and catch a wave anyway). I am not from Portugal but in my country bodyboarders would not be allowed any waves"That´s why in your country you guys come to portugal, to catch some really nice waves, but if you think like that don´t come to portugal, stay at your home....
