Zarautz surf guide

Zarautz is one of the most popular surfing beaches in Spain, located on the Basque coast. It features a long stretch of beach that attracts both surfers and beachgoers throughout the year. This spot is known for its consistent waves and high level of surfing, making it a must-visit for surfers looking to catch quality breaks. However, it can get quite crowded, especially during the summer months and on weekends.

This beach break performs well with swells coming in from the Northwest and North, handling sizes from about 1 meter (3 ft) to 2.5 meters (8 ft). You can expect left and right waves that are suitable for various skill levels, from beginners to advanced surfers. The best conditions generally occur during low to mid tides and when the wind is from the south. It's a competitive spot, so be prepared to share the waves with a strong local crowd.

Access can be tricky, especially in the summer when parking is nearly impossible. Make sure to arrive early if you're hoping to snag a good spot. There are often surf schools in the water, so keep an eye out for beginners and the occasional board wipeout. With good facilities available, including showers and restrooms, Zarautz is set up well for a day out on the beach.
