Summer time in the E S P
For the most part. The waves in july are the smallest and least consistant of the whole year. But, that doesnt mean there arent waves. They will be small. Waist to shoulder high. But i did get lucky last july and had waves double overhead. Your best bet is to stay in Galicia. There are are probably a hundred surf spots all within driving distance of eachother. And only half are widely known about. The locals are cool granted you have some respect. And the beaches are great. I would bring a short board and a 3 2. You could bring a semi gun and a 4 3 suit but you will probably never use them. But then again, who ever knows. If you need info read up on wannasurf and fgsurf.com has good local info for galicia.
