Gipuzkoa in the guides
Surfing in January January is the heart of the Atlantic storm season. Thick wetsuits in the north, warm water in the Canaries, and powerful swells that wake up Nazaré, Mundaka, Thurso East and the island reefs.
Surfing in April Zarautz, the longest beach in Gipuzkoa, picks up nearly every swell and has hosted world-championship contest dates in spring, according to Basque tourism.
Surfing in June June gives you summer weather and the longest days of the year before the school holidays begin. Swells are usually small, so think longboards, lessons and dawn patrols, or the exposed corners of Portugal, Cornwall and Ireland that catch what there is.
Surfing in August August has the warmest sea of the year almost everywhere in Europe, and the busiest beaches. Waves are mostly small, but late in the month the first autumn swells start to show, and Galicia hosts the Pantín Classic.
Surfing in September The holiday crowds leave, the sea is close to its warmest and autumn swells start to roll in, from Hossegor and Ericeira to Cornwall, Bundoran and Thurso: September is the month many locals wait for all year.
Surfing in December San Sebastián's Zurriola picks up most swells and works at every tide, and on the biggest storms even the sheltered La Concha bay can break.
Basque coast road trip San Sebastián's Zurriola, the long beach at Zarautz, the flysch cliffs of Zumaia and the river beach at Deba.
Best spots to learn to surf Zarautz is the home of the Basque surf-school scene, and Basque tourism lists Deba among the good places to learn.
