Malpica is a picturesque surf spot located near a small fishing village of the same name. It’s a beachbreak that offers some quality waves, especially when the conditions are right. The area can get pretty busy during summer but usually has ample parking. With friendly beach facilities, it’s a decent spot to spend the day if you’re into surfing.

This beach is best for experienced surfers, as it handles swell sizes from around 3ft (about 0.9 meters) and works best with medium to large swells. The optimal swell direction comes from the NorthWest, but it can also handle swells coming from the North. The waves break over sand and can offer both left and right rides. For the best surfing experience, aim for low to mid tides, and keep an eye on the wind, which is preferable from the South.

When the waves are firing, it can get crowded, so be prepared for some local surfers in the water. The vibe can shift a bit if it's really busy, so it’s good to keep that in mind. Overall, Malpica is a solid spot for those looking for a decent surf session.
