La Mata Surf Guide

La Mata in Valencia is a fairly exposed sandbar break that does not work very often with no particular seasonal pattern. The best wind direction is 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. Waves at the sandbar tend to peel to the left. The quality of the surf isn't affected by the tide. Even when there are waves, it's not likley to be crowded. Watch out for lifeguards.
