Gerra surf guide

Gerra is a beach break located near San Vicente de la Barquera, offering a nice spot for surfers looking for a relaxed vibe. The area is usually not crowded, which makes it appealing for those wanting some space to practice their skills. Gerra has a long stretch of beach that features several peaks depending on the shifting sandbars, giving surfers some options on where to paddle out.

The surf at Gerra can be good and consistent, thanks to its optimal swell direction from the Northwest. It tends to handle swell sizes from about 2ft (0.6 meters) and works well with swells coming from the West and North. The waves break over sand, creating beach waves that can go left or right. For the best experience, aim to surf during low, mid, or high tides, with a preferable wind coming from the Southeast. This spot is great for intermediate surfers looking to work on their skills.

While there aren’t many facilities right on the beach, there is a surf school nearby that can help if you’re looking to improve your technique. You may find a few campers around, as this place is close to some camping options. Overall, Gerra provides a chill atmosphere with decent waves to ride.
