Surf: Consistent beachbreak with good peaks, working during most tides. Best on small to medium swells. Environment: Thriving surf scene in carpark and village. Good beach facilities with large carpark, showers, surf school and lifeguards. Busy in summer season. Several surf shops, bars and other shops close by. Campsite just down the road. Also quite close to city of Santander. Some pollution from Santander. Surf: General: High quality, consistent beachbreak that can produce well-defined banks that generally work through the tides. This - plus the views across to Santander - ensures that when it's on, it draws a crowd. Long and dune backed, it joins with Loredo to create a massive beach. Maxes out when big. Tides: All tides Size: Waist to head high Wind: S, SE Swell: NW Bottom: Sand Paddling: Big paddle out, watch out for rips. Spot Rating: Long, consistent beach with many sandbanks, super fun. Access: Big Beachfront car park in the village. Crowds: Crowd Factor: Popular when good due to proximity to city, but plenty of room to spread out. Local Vibe: Pretty mellow except when busy. Environment: OK in summer, usually poor after rain due to rivermouth. Hazards: Powerful waves and strong rips when size picks up. Season: Works year round but best September - November.
