Montgat is a surf spot located just a bit north of Barcelona, offering an accessible place for surfers looking for a local session. It's a beach that can handle some decent waves and it usually attracts a fair number of surfers, especially when conditions are right. The vibe can fluctuate based on the crowd, so be prepared for a mix of locals and other surfers.

The surf here mainly works with an east swell direction and can handle swell sizes starting from 1 ft (0.3 m). You can expect a mix of beach breaks that deliver both lefts and rights. The optimal conditions usually come when the wind is coming from the west, and the spot can be surfed at low, mid, and high tides. It’s a decent spot for both beginners and more experienced surfers alike, though keep in mind it may feel busy on popular days.

While Montgat has its charm, it’s important to respect the locals out in the water, as the increasing crowds can sometimes lead to tensions. Access to the beach is usually straightforward, and parking is generally available nearby, although keep an eye out for any potential issues. Always check the conditions before heading out, and enjoy your time on the waves!
