The story
Surf stories from Guiones
A beach to learn on
The tide decides
The tide rises and falls twice a day and changes how the waves break. If you go on your own, check the tide chart first.
Waves by season
From April to October the south swell comes in bigger; the rest of the year the sea tends to be calmer.
