Calita Surf Guide

Calita in Andalucia is an exposed beach and reef break that does not work very often. Summer in particular tends to be flat. The best wind direction is from the northeast and there is no shelter here from cross shore breezes. Tends to receive a mix of groundswells and windswells and the best swell direction is from the west southwest. The beach break provides left and right handers together with both left and right hand reef breaks offshore. It's sometimes crowded here. Submerged rocks are a hazard.
