Surf Break: Playa de Tagle

Playa de Tagle in Cantabria is an exposed beach break that has pretty consitent surf and can work at any time of the year. Ideal winds are from the southeast. 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. Overcrowding can even make surfing hazardous.
