El Sitio is a surf spot located at the east end of Sopelana beach. It's a bit off the beaten path, which helps it stay less crowded compared to the main beach area that gets packed during the summer months. Though you might find fewer surfers here, be aware that locals can sometimes be unfriendly, so it’s best to be respectful if you decide to paddle out.

The surf experience at El Sitio can vary, but it generally offers a moderately consistent, medium-quality left-hand reef break. This spot works best at low tide and is ideal for small, well-lined-up swells coming from the north-west direction. The swell can handle sizes around 3 ft (about 0.9 m) and can come from the west or north. For the best surf conditions, you'll want to aim for a south wind. It's a good spot for intermediate surfers looking to improve their skills on the uneven reef, but don’t expect to ride it on a busy day.

Parking is limited year-round, with metered spots in the summer, so plan ahead and arrive early if you're driving. While all necessary facilities are available nearby at Sopelana, keep in mind that this area doesn't always guarantee a perfect surf day, so be ready for some variability in the conditions.
