La Fontanilla surf guide

La Fontanilla is a beach break located along the coast, known for its laid-back vibe. It’s a swell and wind-protected spot that features lined-up sandbars, which are held in place by nearby reefs. The beach is generally less crowded, making it a decent spot to catch some waves without the hassle of heavy crowds. You can easily find La Fontanilla by looking for signs that lead to Playa de la Fontanilla, which is located to the left of the big rocks.

This spot works best with a northwestern swell, but can also pick up swells from the south and northwest, handling sizes around 2 to 6 feet (0.6 to 1.8 meters). The waves break over sand, offering both left and right rides. It's a good option when El Palmar is too crowded or maxed out, although keep in mind that high tide can sometimes just dump onto the beach, making things a bit tricky. The preferable wind direction is from the west, and it’s best to hit it during low to mid tide, which offers the most fun and user-friendly conditions suitable for beginner surfers.

For those looking for a solid alternative when the conditions aren't perfect at other nearby spots, La Fontanilla can be a reliable choice. It's a great beach to practice and refine your skills without feeling overwhelmed. Just remember to check the tide and wind conditions before you go to make the most of your session.
