The best wave in Asturias. A world-class rivermouth lefthander similar to Mundaka but slightly shorter and handles less size. Two hours either side of low, preferably on the push. Needs a moderate swell to get going, usually best in winter.
Always crowded when on, and heavy localism. Strong rips. Picturesque setting in a pine forest, fairly near the town of Villaviciosa. Parking OK apart from the busiest summer times. Some problems with car crime. Good beach facilities and camping by the river. Slight estuarine pollution, despite being a nature reserve.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
