Laga surf guide

Laga is a beach located in a scenic area surrounded by pine trees and impressive cliffs to the east. This spot can get crowded, especially on weekends, but it's definitely a nice alternative in winter when most beachgoers from nearby Gernika have cleared out. Parking is generally available except during the peak summer months.

The surf at Laga can be pretty decent, with a consistent beach break that produces all sorts of waves, including the occasional barrel. It works best with a Northwest swell and can handle sizes starting from around 2 ft (0.6 m). You can catch both left and right waves here, which makes it fun for different skill levels. The best times to surf are at low to mid and high tides, with the ideal wind coming from the south. This spot is well-suited for intermediate surfers looking to enjoy some good sessions.

When you head out, keep in mind that the sandbars can change, which may affect the breaking waves. It's a picturesque surf spot, so take a moment to enjoy the views between sessions. Overall, while Laga may not be the best surf location out there, it still offers a great environment for some solid surfing.
