Supertubos and Peniche (Portugal): seabed and beach from the coastal LiDAR survey HR_Lidar_Centro (APA/DGT, 2011), distributed by EMODnet Bathymetry, CC BY 4.0. Depths shifted from chart datum (lowest astronomical tide) to mean sea level using each break's Marine Institute reference station (Galway 3.0 m, Fenit 2.8 m, Dunmore East 2.5 m, Sligo, Killybegs and Ringaskiddy 2.4 m; Peniche about 2.0 m). The sea-level plane is a simple flat level, not a tide prediction. Not for navigation. Rendered by SurfCheck.
