Surf Break: La Arena

La Arena in Asturias is a fairly exposed beach break that has dependable surf and can work at any time of the year. Works best in offshore winds from the southeast. Tends to receive a mix of groundswells and windswells and the best swell direction is from the northwest. The beach break offers both left and right hand waves. Best around high tide. It's often crowded here. Beware of crowds,pollution.
