Mareta surf guide
Surf: This perfect but very rare wave needs a monster W-NW swell or a decent S. Also picks up a little wind slop on the summertime Levante winds. It’s a hollow, bowly wave that gets very busy and is a little localised.
Surf: General: Mareta is a good spot to check when the west coast is maxed out and onshore - the beach here needs a big NW swell to wrap in. There are peaks along its length and while the waves are unspectacular it can produce some super fun walls. It will be busy if this is the only break working.
Tides: Low to mid high tide
Size: Waist to head high.
Wind: NW, N, NE

Paddling: Easy when small, can lack channels as size picks up.
