Marbella - Playa del Cable in Andalucia is an exposed beach break that only works occasionally, with summer typically being flat.

Due to limited fetch, waves here are mostly from windswells rather than groundswells, with the ideal swell direction coming from the east-southeast. The beach break offers both left and right-hand waves and is surfable at all tide stages. The spot often gets crowded, and overcrowding can sometimes make surfing hazardous. The best month to surf Marbella - Playa del Cable is September.
