Hazards

SHIFTING PEAKS A variable, ever-changing set of beach break peaks — walk the beach to find the best-formed bank on the day.
BEGINNER-FRIENDLY SIZE Can handle swell from as little as 1ft, making it more approachable than the bigger breaks nearby.
CROWDS OVERFLOW Fills up with Catalan surfers escaping a crowded Masnou — can still get busy on the best days.
URBAN BEACH Built-up town beach — check water quality after heavy rain.

Local knowledge

Best tide Mid tide
Peak season Winter · E swell events, works from 1ft
Swell key E swell · Mixed lefts and rights over shifting sandbanks
Level Beginner-intermediate · Sandy · More relaxed than Masnou
Dawn patrol A five-minute walk from the train station — one of the most convenient, low-key sessions on the whole Maresme coast.
