2. General information about Andalusia
Surfing in Andalusia means a mix of Spanish flair and a wave for everyone. Andalusia is located in the mild south of Spain, with most of its coastline on the Mediterranean Sea. You can have fun here all year round and experience unforgettable moments. Most of the spots are suitable for all levels and offer a fantastic backdrop. From snow-covered high mountains to dreamy sandy beaches, everything is there to make your heart beat faster. There are plenty of surf spots to choose from, from beach breaks to point breaks, there's pretty much everything which surf beginners and pros like to have under their surfboards. Escape the grey winter and enjoy the time under the sun of southern Spain!3. The best time to travel
From absolute beginners to experienced surf cracks: Every wave fan will get their money's worth here. Basically, you can say that the best time to surf in Andalusia is from September to June. In summer (July, August), the chances of waves are increasingly rare, but the beaches are more crowded. Every now and then, of course, there may be a small swell during this period. You can learn to surf in many places in Europe, but in Andalusia the sun takes its winter break with mostly mild temperatures - especially in spring and autumn you can enjoy the warm weather, while the rest of Europe is rather grey and wet. Another big advantage for us surfers - and a good argument for a surf trip to Andalusia!4. The best surf spots in Andalusia
Beaches like Los Lances in Tarifa, Caños de Meca in Barbate or La Fontanilla in Conil are famous among surf lovers. Many beach breaks and mostly relaxed waves are perfect for surf beginners to try their first attempts at line-up. A very popular surf spot is Playa el Palmar. It offers waves for every level and some good beach breaks. The months of November to May are considered the best time to visit. If you want to surf directly in Andalusia, you will find some very good spots directly between Tarifa and Cadiz. Beach breaks, reefs, right and left waves - there is something for every taste and every surf level. Here is just a small selection of spots:Barbate
Quiet village with point and beach breaks. Both only work with larger swells, but then with barrel potential. If something is going on here, check out the challenging Caños de la Meca reef break!Cabo Roche
A small settlement between Chiclana and Conil with a nice bay. The beach break gets stronger waves than the neighbouring villages and is relatively sheltered from the dreaded Levante. There are also a number of surf camps here, which offer plenty of fun for beginners and experts alike.Playa de Los Lances
One of the most perfect places in Andalusia to learn surfing in a cool surf camp.Conil
One of the most beautiful beaches in Andalusia. Long beach break which produces good waves in big swells and gives you a lot of fun. You'll find some cool surf camps here too.El Palmar
Surf epicenter in Andalusia, extensive beach break with reliable sand bars and several peaks. The spot is popular with all levels of surfers and will not disappoint.5. Water temperature
The water temperature only drops to 16-18 degrees in winter. This means that your neoprene does not need to be thicker than 4/3 mm. In summer, the temperature rises to 24 degrees. Here, a shorty or a surf bikini is completely sufficient.6. Transport
The cheapest way is to fly directly to Seville or Malaga, but there are also cheap flights to Gibraltar.
