Advanced : Nothing to surf today. Rest those arms.
Today's score by level (at the day's best, out of 100)
Big wave spot with a powerful right that holds swell up to 5 m. Works best from mid to high tide — at low tide the rocks become extremely dangerous, with strong currents and large sets. Reserved for experienced to expert surfers.
Autumn and winter deliver the best conditions, with long powerful swells from the north.
For experts only. Powerful waves, strong currents or technical bottom. Ask locally first.
Direct access from the beach, but mind the rocky bottom. Wetsuit + booties recommended, do not surf at low tide.
Wear an appropriate wetsuit. Scout the currents before you paddle out. Respect the locals and right-of-way. Check weather and tides.
Meñakoz is rather recommended for advanced surfers. If you're a beginner, prefer a surf school, a small swell and a suitable tide, or look for a more sheltered nearby spot.
The ideal wind at Meñakoz comes broadly from South: it's offshore, which helps shape and hold the waves. A strong onshore wind generally degrades conditions.
Around Meñakoz, you can also check conditions at La Salvaje, Sopelana, Punta Galea. Compare the scores, wind and swell direction before choosing where to surf.
