Baleo surf guide

Baleo is a surf spot located in a small bay, making it a popular choice, especially during the summer months. It tends to get crowded since it's considered the second option after Pantin. While the vibe is generally friendly, you might encounter some localism. Parking here is usually not a problem, which is a plus for surfers looking to spend a day on the waves.

This spot offers a consistent beachbreak with several decent peaks that work best at lower tides. The optimal swell direction is from the NorthWest, but it can also handle swells coming from the West and North. The waves here can handle sizes up to around 3ft (about 0.9 meters), making it suitable for expert surfers. You can catch both left and right waves as they break over sand. The best wind direction to ride at Baleo is from the SouthEast, and it works well during low to mid tides.

Keep in mind that when the swell gets bigger, there can be strong rips, so it's crucial to be aware of the conditions. Despite these factors, Baleo remains a worthwhile spot for those looking to surf in this area.
