Located in Galicia, Spain, Playa Del Orzan is a fun beach break that offers up some decent peaks for performance surfing. The waves here are pretty easy to surf and break for up to 50 meters over a sand bottom. Crowds due to closeness to A Coruna.
What are the best surf conditions for Playa del Orzan?
Gets good between waist-high to double overhead. We recommend riding a longboard when smaller and a shortboard when the size picks up. This break is suitable for all levels of surfer. The surf here is pretty consistent (6/10) and will always be semi-crowded at least (7/10). The best winds are from the Southwest. The best swells are from the North and Northwest. Works on low to mid tides best.
We recommend wearing a 3/2 wetsuit in the summer when water temperatures rise to 19 degrees. In the winter a 4/3 is best when water temperatures drop to 13 degrees. See the temperature chart below for more data on this.
