Sant Martí d'Empúries

📍 Local Knowledge

Sant Martí d'Empúries in Catalunia is an exposed beach break with inconsistent surf, with summer often being flat. The best conditions come with an east swell and offshore winds from the west-southwest, with some shelter from north winds. Waves are more likely to be generated by local windswells than distant groundswells, and the beach offers both left and right-handers. The quality of the surf is not significantly affected by the tide. When it’s working, it can get crowded, and surfers should watch out for rocks and rips. The best month to surf Sant Martí d'Empúries is January.
