Surf Break: Playa de Oyambre

Playa de Oyambre in Cantabria is a sheltered beach break that has quite reliable surf, although summer tends to be mostly flat. Ideal winds are from the southwest. Tends to receive a mix of groundswells and windswells and the ideal swell direction is from the northwest. The beach break provides left and right handers. Best around low tide. Even when there are waves, it's not likley to be crowded. Watch out for dangerous rips.
