Surf Break: Playa de Torimbia

Playa de Torimbia in Asturias is a sheltered beach break that has quite consistent surf. Winter is the best time of year for surfing here. The best wind direction is 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. Unlikely to be too crowded, even when the surf is up. Surfing here means negotiating dangerous rips.
