Playa de Gros (Zurriola)

📍 Local Knowledge

Playa de Gros (Zurriola) in Pais Vasco is an exposed beach break that is often working and remains active throughout the year. This spot provides both left and right-hand waves fueled by an equal measure of local windswells and distant groundswells; while it offers some shelter from northeast winds and works best with a southeast wind, visitors should be prepared for crowds and potential 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.
