La Manga del Mar Menor surf guide

La Manga del Mar Menor is a long, thin peninsula located in the Murcia region of Spain. It's known for its unique geography, where the Mediterranean Sea meets the Mar Menor lagoon. This spot serves as a popular surf destination, attracting surfers of all levels. The scenery is quite nice, but it's mainly the waves that draw in the surf crowd.

The surf here tends to be a mix of beach breaks that can be fun, especially for beginners. It picks up more swell than nearby La Mata, and you can usually catch some action with swell sizes starting from about 1ft (0.3 meters). The best waves typically come in from the east but can also be good with swell from the northeast or southeast. You’ll find waves breaking both left and right over sandy bottoms. It's a versatile spot that can handle varying tide heights—low, mid, and high—and favorably, it works best with west winds. Just keep in mind that when it's breaking, Playa de Galúa can get pretty crowded, so if you're looking for a bit more space, heading north might be your best bet.

For those just starting out, La Manga del Mar Menor is a great place to practice. The sandy beaches provide a forgiving environment, and the conditions suit beginners well. If you’re planning to hit the waves, it’s good to check the forecast beforehand to find the best times to surf and avoid the peak crowds.
