El Masnou Surf Guide
El Masnou in Catalunia is an exposed sandbar break. Summer in particular tends to be flat. Works best in offshore winds from the northwest. Short period wind swells are the rule and the ideal wave direction is from the east southeast. The sandbar breaks peel to the left. Surfable at all stages of the tide. It's sometimes crowded here. The crowds in the water make a gath helmet a good idea.
