  description: Razo is Galicia's heavy-hitting beachbreak—a powerful wave near A Coruña that can handle massive Atlantic swells and transform them into grinding barrels. The beach faces directly into the North Atlantic storm track, making it both consistent and occasionally terrifying. When winter systems light up the coast, Razo produces thick, dredging waves that challenge even experienced surfers. The Celtic-influenced Galician culture, incredible seafood, and relatively uncrowded lineups make this an attractive alternative to the Basque Country scene.
