Surf Break: Playa A Marosa

Playa A Marosa in Galicia is a fairly exposed beach break that has pretty consitent surf. The optimum time of year for waves is autumn. The best wind direction is from the south. Waves just as likely from local windswells as from distant groundswells and the ideal swell direction is from the northwest. The beach break provides left and right handers. Surfable at all stages of the tide. It very rarely gets crowded here. Be wary of rips - they make surfing here dangerous.
