Las Caracolas

📍 Local Knowledge

Las Caracolas in Andalucia is an exposed beach and reef break with fairly consistent surf, performing best during the winter and spring. The break offers both lefts and rights primarily from groundswells, typically peaking around mid tide, though surfers should watch for rocks and expect crowds when it's on. The best conditions reported for surf at Las Caracolas occur when a Southwest swell combines with an offshore wind direction from the Northeast, and the best time of year for surfing Las Caracolas with consistent clean waves (rideable swell with light / offshore winds) is most often the month of January.
