Campelo

Campelo stands as a demanding, walled-up beachbreak over a shifting sand bottom, offering both lefts and rights that frequently unload with makeable barrel sections. This spot boasts exceptional consistency, often producing rideable surf even when other breaks go flat on smaller swell windows.

Best Surf Season (October - March)

Campelo's north-west facing beach sits right in the firing line of the North Atlantic during the winter half of the year. From October through March, long-period groundswell rolls out of the W-WNW-NW quadrant on a routine basis, average heights sit between 7 and 10ft (2.1-3.0m), and periods routinely push past 12s. The Atlantic storm track gets stretched and amplified by strong autumn and winter low-pressure systems, and each passing front can spin up a fresh pulse of energy for this stretch of the Spanish coast. At the same time, the wind climatology favours south-west and west-south-west flow while the swell is running, meaning offshore wind is present 30-35% of the time; those are the days Campelo really grinds and barrels.
