PLAYA
DE LA ZURRIOLA
Commonly called beach of GROS,
name of the district in which is positioned, it presents
waves of different typologies and for all levels.
With an average of 1.5 meters, it can
reach 4 meters during big swells.
Surfable practically every day of the
year, paying particular attention to the table of the
tides, with more or less good conditions.
In case of smooth swells, go out with
low tide: the waves will be steep.
In case of big swells, better go out
with high tide: the waves will do less close-out and
you will have more water under the board, in case of
wipeouts.
In August, in case of apparent absence
of waves, remember to wait for the low tide. For the
most anxious, we advise to go toward the near town of
Zarautz or toward Hossegor to check the situation.
SUMMER
PERIOD MORE SUITABLE FOR SMALL WAVES: AUGUST
SUMMER PERIOD MORE SUITABLE FOR BIG WAVES: JUNE
CURRENT:
from void to strong in base to the dimensions of the
waves and the growth or the decrease of the tide. In
case of big swells, be careful to the current that pushes
toward the open sea present in the side zones of the
beach next to the rocks, current exploited by the surfers
of middle-high level to arrive directly on the peak
without too much paddling.
