Surfing in spain
Who said its crowded? Have been on the North coast for a few weeks and there is lots of room in the water. I have all day to surf so try to stay out when the local guys have finished work - no skin off my nose really. And you are in the water by 8.00am its a very lonely place..

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.

Moving to northern coast of Spain!
Hello everybody, I am California student currently located in Florence Italy unil May 4th. After school I am planning on making the trek up to Northern Spain for the excellent surf. I am looking for cheap rent, even if the room is run-down and not of the best quality. If anyone could direct me to anything or anyone willing to rent me a room from mid may to mid june, that would be fantastic. Any help would be much, much appreciated. Thank you.

Malaga Surfing
I grew up in Malaga, but did most of my surfing in Cadiz and different parts of Portugal, Canary Isles, and Australia.
The truth is that if you only have two weeks of vacation and are betting all your cards on getting some great surfing, then Malaga might not be the place. The good news is that malaga is a great geographical bridge between good surfing and good snowboarding, due to its close proximity to Sierra Nevada (Granada) and the Atlantic Coast of Cadiz, Portugal and Morocco.
Now, with all fairness, it is important to mention that when the Levante kicks in the Mediteranean pond, Malaga's beautifuly varied coastline gets pounded with "A" class Waves. Levante swells in the Mediteranean can last anywhere between a couple of hours to sometimes a week. The months of July and August are usually the worst months of the year for surfing in Malaga due to the lack of strong forming Low Presures in the Mediteranean. The good news is that during these months Malaga celebrates its colourful culture with with village parties and city fairs.
Surf Spots to keep an eye on when Levante kicks in:
When there is Levante Swell, go to Puerto Marina (Benalmadena Costa) and surounding beach breaks. Another intersting break is "Playa de Torrequebrada". Taking the coastal Highway towards Fuengirola there are several small beach coves that produce some perfect waves. One that stuck in my mind was Playa la Perla, a.k.a Chiringo next to "Torremuelle". Other good spots can be found in Fuengirola, such as "Playa del Chino" and "playa del Castillo".
If the Levante Swells aren't present, keep your eyes open for strong "Poniente" Winds that blow from the Atlantic ocean. There are many Malaga beaches that work with Poniente Winds. These are: Faro de Calabura, and Playa de Cabo Pino.
Malaga is a beautiful city that offers many great outdoors experiences to anybody that wishes to visit her.
Malaga surfers are very protective of their beaches and surf spots. Please respect the locals and keep the beaches clean, most importantly have fun.
