Sant Tomas is a surf spot located in Menorca, offering a more relaxed vibe compared to its more crowded neighbor, Son Bou. It’s a smaller beach break that can handle smaller swells and provides decent protection from W/NW winds. This makes it a good option if you want to surf without too many people around, especially during the summer months when the beaches can get a bit crazy.
The waves here work best with a swell direction from the SouthWest, but you can also catch some good rides with swells coming from the SouthEast and West. It handles swell sizes around 1ft (0.3m), making it quite accessible for beginners. The waves break over sand, and you can expect both left and right-hand waves. For the best experience, the tides can be low, mid, or high, and the optimal wind direction comes from the North.
Because it's beginner-friendly, Sant Tomas is a great spot to hone your skills in a laid-back atmosphere. The clear waters offer a good environment for practice, and if you’re looking to escape the summer madness, this beach is a solid choice. Just remember to get there early if you want to score some space on the beach!
