Masnou is a surf spot located just a short distance from Barcelona. It is known for its accessibility and has become a popular choice for surfers looking to catch some waves. The area can get crowded, especially when the conditions are right, but the vibe is often relaxed, making it a good place to enjoy surfing with friends.

This spot can handle swells from the Northeast and Southeast, and it works best with an east swell. It can pick up swell sizes around 3ft (approximately 1 meter) and above, usually starting to break at waist height. The waves typically break over sand and tend to form lefts that sweep down the beach. Timing is important, especially when dropping in from the jetty. For the best experience, aim to surf when the wind is coming from the west, and you'll find that it works well at low, mid, and high tide. It's a good spot for intermediate surfers, so brush up on your skills before heading out!

Access is pretty straightforward, with a small parking lot right in front of the pier that makes it easy to stash your gear. Plus, when the waves are on point, the sunset views over Barcelona are a nice bonus!
