Mundaka, located on the Vizcaya coast, has the best left wave in Europe. It is a wave that breaks on sand and there are no problems with the rocks, but due to the great force of this wave and breaking with little bottom, it can break tables.It is a wave of great beauty, where in ideal conditions it can reach a great wave length and forms perfect tubes from 1 to 2 meters. But we cannot forget the danger of it, which is why it is not uncommon to see raiders wear a helmet.Advanced levelAccess: It can be accessed from the same port or from behind the church. Karramarro, Zarautz Located on the N-634 road between Getaria and Zarautz. It is a very powerful left that breaks into rock near the road. They are left-hand waves of between 2 and 3 meters and they occur quite consistently. The access is very complicated, since you have to jump from the rocks.Advanced levelAccess: Access is complicated and if you go by car, indicate that there are very few parking spaces. Sopelana Located in Vizcaya, Sopelana is a municipality located 20 minutes from Bilbao, where we can practice surfing practically all year round.According to the locals, the first surfer in the Basque Country was sighted in 1964 on the Sopelana beach. Apart from this anecdotal fact, Sopelana has areas for all levels, from the Arenal with its 752 meters in length, to Punta Galea, an area only suitable for experienced surfers due to its proximity to the cliff.Level: Elementary â AdvancedAccess: It can be accessed from the beach itself. The parking lot, mainly in the summer season, is very complicated, since it tends to fill up. Zumaia Zumaia located between Guetaria and Deba in the province of Guipúzcoa, has an idyllic setting for surfing and contemplating the famous flysch and the hermitage of San Telmo just above the cliff.In Zumaia we find the Irutzun beach, about 300 meters long, which has waves of one meter, one and a half meters and they usually occur throughout the year. This area is ideal for less experienced surfers.If what we are looking for is a little more level, we find Playa Gris or Planeitxa following the coast. This area has waves of up to 6 meters, but it is worth noting its danger due to the proximity of the rocks.Level: Elementary - IntermediateAccess: It has easy parking, but it should be noted that it gets quite complicated during the weekends. Zurriola, San Sebastián To finish our list, we are going to the most urban beach on the list, Zurriola beach, located in the Gros neighborhood in San Sebastián.The beach is divided into two parts, the area to the left at Muro de Sagues, where the most experienced surfers tend to go, and the area to the right, next to the river, where most of the newcomers and surf schools are located. surf. It is a sandy beach and depending on the sea conditions it is suitable for all levels, but you have to be careful with the currents, and not move too much towards the rocks. Level: Elementary - IntermediateAccess: it can be reached from the same beach, there is parking in the same area, but the prices are high and the street parking has an OTA zone.
