Surf Break: Playa de Esteiro

Name: Playa de Esteiro
Type: beach
Reliability: fairly consistent
Best Swell: NW Offshore Wind: E

Playa de Esteiro in Galicia is an exposed beach break that has quite consistent surf and can work at any time of the year. Works best in offshore winds from the east. Tends to receive a mix of groundswells and windswells and the ideal swell angle is from the northwest. The beach breaks offer lefts and rights. Best around low tide. Unlikely to be too crowded, even when the surf is up. Watch out for dangerous rips.
