La Barossa Surf Guide

La Barossa in Andalucia is an exposed beach break that has quite consistent surf, although summer tends to be mostly flat. Offshore winds blow from the east northeast and there is no shelter here from cross shore breezes. Tends to receive a mix of groundswells and windswells and the ideal swell angle is from the west southwest. The beach breaks offer lefts and rights. Good surf at all stages of the tide. Unlikely to be too crowded, even when the surf is up. Beware of buoys, fishing nets,pollution.
