Playa de San Juan

📍 Local Knowledge

Playa de San Juan/Espartal in Asturias is an exposed beach and jetty break that offers dependable surf and can work at any time of the year. This spot provides right-hand waves from an equal measure of windswells and groundswells; while it is surfable at all tidal stages and even in an onshore breeze, visitors should be mindful of potential crowds and water pollution when the surf is up. The best conditions occur when a Northwest swell combines with Southeast offshore winds, with October being the prime month for consistent, clean waves.
