El Sardinero surf guide

El Sardinero is an east-facing beach located in the affluent city of Santander. This urban setting attracts a lot of surfers, especially on weekends, so expect some crowding. It's a well-kept area with plenty of amenities, making it a convenient spot to hit the waves or relax on the beach.

The surf here is decent, especially when there's a big storm hitting from the north or northwest. It works best for those with intermediate skills, as the waves can range from 2ft (0.6m) and can handle larger swells too. The beachbreak allows for both left and right wave directions, which is great for variety. Generally, itโ€™s good to surf during low, mid, or high tides, but keep in mind that west winds will give you the best conditions.

While the crowds can be intense, el Sardinero offers a vibrant surf culture with a lively atmosphere. On top of that, parking is usually available, apart from the busy summer months when finding a spot can be a hassle. Overall, itโ€™s a solid choice if you're looking to get some waves in a bustling beach environment.
