Zumaia surf guide

Zumaia is a beach located in Spain that offers surfers a mix of waves suitable for different skill levels. It’s known for its scenic cliffs and sandy beach. The spot is popular among locals, so you'll likely find a decent crowd, especially on weekends. However, it’s not too hard to find a spot to surf if you come at the right time.

The surf at Zumaia tends to be quite consistent, with the best conditions usually seen at low tide. When the banks are right, you can enjoy small-wave beach breaks that work well with swells of around 2ft (0.6 meters). The optimal swell direction is from the north, and you can expect the waves to break to the left and right over the sandy bottom. If you're looking for the best surfing experience, try to time your visit with southerly winds and low to mid tides, which are ideal. This spot is more suited for intermediate surfers, as the waves can be tricky if you're still learning.

During peak summer season, Zumaia can get pretty crowded, so it’s a good idea to plan accordingly if you prefer a quieter session. Parking can be a bit of a hassle on busy weekends, so consider arriving early. Overall, Zumaia offers a laid-back surfing vibe with plenty of opportunities when conditions align.
