Surf Break: Playa de el Moro

Playa de el Moro in Asturias is a reasonably exposed point break that usually has waves and can work at any time of the year. Offshore winds are from the south. Tends to receive a mix of groundswells and windswells and the ideal swell direction is from the north northwest. Even when there are waves, it's not likley to be crowded. Dangerous rips are a hazard of surfing here.
