Salinas is a well-known surf spot located in Asturias, stretching from Playa El Espartal to Salinas itself. It’s a popular beach for surfers, attracting a good crowd, especially in the summer months. The surf scene here can be lively, and it's a go-to place for those looking to catch some waves in a dynamic setting.

The surf at Salinas is generally good, with optimal swell coming from the Northwest. It handles swell sizes of about 3ft (approximately 0.9 meters) pretty well, with waves breaking over sand. You can ride both left and right here, which gives you some options depending on the conditions. It's best to hit the waves at low, mid, or high tide, but note that this spot is more suited for expert surfers given the fast, barreling beach breaks that you’ll encounter. If the wind is blowing from the Southeast, the conditions are usually pretty good, providing a fun surfing experience.

Keep in mind that the beach is often crowded, and you may experience some localism, so it's good to be respectful of the locals while you’re out there. The surrounding area can feel a bit urban with some concrete structures, which might not be the prettiest, but it does have decent beach facilities including a surfing school right nearby.
