Anybody know a good place to surf on Costa del Sol?

Question

Will be staying near Estepona over christmas period.... Is there a good place to surf (where we can hire boards and suits) in the area?

Answer 1

alternative name Costa Del Sol Turicentro

    Surf Quality

  wave quality: Regional Classic

  experience: experienced surfers

  surf frequency: Don't know

    Wave  

  bottom: sandy

  power - fast

- powerful



  normal length normal (50 to 150m)

  good day  

    Tide, Swell and Wind

  swell size starts working at less than 1m / 3ft and holds up to 5m / 16 ft and over

  tide position: mid and high tide

  tide movement: rising and falling tides

To tell the truth, the waves are very small and it seriously is not a good place to surf. To my knowledge there are very few surf shops at Costa del Sol and when I went there for vacation I didn't see many shops to do with surfing. There were a couple for Kite Surfing and boat sailing and stuff. Sorry I can't help much but Costa del Sol just isn't a very good spot to surf.

Answer 2

I can say without a doubt that the best place to surf is in the ocean.

Thank you.

Answer 3

Wrong ocean. No fetch for swells to develop. However they do get a little surf on the west coast of Italy. Try Morocco, Very cheap. Very good surf. Agadir area.

Answer 4

the beach

Answer 5

The Mediteranian has little tidal rise and fall. I know the area quite well and as far as I am aware, there is no-where on the Med that is 'good' for surfing!
