Today's score by level (at the day's best, out of 100)
The family spot at Noja. Rights and lefts over a sandy bottom with a few rocks — works nearly year-round. Well-equipped beach with a campsite close by.
Autumn and winter deliver the best conditions, with long powerful swells from the north.
Ideal for starting out or longboarding. Mellow waves, little current, surf school usually nearby.
Easy beach access, parking usually nearby. Ask locally about seasonal currents.
Wear an appropriate wetsuit. Scout the currents before you paddle out. Respect the locals and right-of-way. Check weather and tides.
Ris usually works best around mid-tide. The tide shapes the sandbanks and the depth over the reef, so check the day's tide times before your session.
Ris is rather accessible to beginners when the waves stay small and the wind is light. Still, check currents, tide and local guidelines before entering.
The ideal wind at Ris comes broadly from South: it's offshore, which helps shape and hold the waves. A strong onshore wind generally degrades conditions.
Around Ris, you can also check conditions at Berria, Langre, Loredo. Compare the scores, wind and swell direction before choosing where to surf.
