More about La Zurriola surfspot

Consistent, medium-quality beachbreak that can have good peaks depending on the sandbars. A lefthander peels towards the pier at low tide. Best on small swells; anything over about 5' closes out.

General: Playa de la Zurriola, set in the heart of this urban setting, is a quality beachbreak. The sandy beach has a series of peaks that shift with the tides and swells. At the western end, a long stone jetty follows the river out into the bay. The eastern edge of the bay sees sandbanks form especially well, a righthander being the most consistent. Tides: All Size: Knee high-overhead Wind: S Swell: NW, N Bottom: Sand Paddling: Not bad on the average day, tougher when there is significant swell in the water. Spot Rating: Can get good on a proper swell, otherwise an average beachbreak.

Beginner to advanced depending on the surf

Practically in town centre

Simple

Parking in summer extremely difficult

September-November

Crowd Factor: Very busy - get up early and beat the crowds Local Vibe: Competitive.

Often crowded. Practically in the town centre of San Sebastian. City-type roadside parking with meters, or expensive underground carparks; practically impossible in the summer. Moderately polluted, mainly from residential and stormwater runoff. Beach facilities include toilets, showers, lifeguard and surf school.

Not bad, can get dirty when it rains.

Crowded lineup.
