La Mata Surf Guide

La Mata in Valencia is a fairly exposed sandbar break that has unreliable waves with no particular seasonal pattern. Offshore winds blow from the west and there is no shelter here from cross shore breezes. Usually gets local windswells, but groundswells do happen and the best wave direction is from the east northeast. The sandbar break offers mainly left hand waves. The quality of the surf isn't affected by the tide. Even when there are waves, it's not likley to be crowded. Beware of lifeguards.
