Rodiles

Villaviciosa, Spain
👥Crowded

Rodiles is Spain's most celebrated sandbar—a long left-hand wave in an Asturian estuary that produces some of the longest, most perfect rides on the entire Atlantic coast. The protected location in the Villaviciosa estuary creates stable sandbars that peel with remarkable consistency when winter swells arrive from the north. The wave is accessible enough for intermediate surfers yet capable of world-class quality that has attracted professional attention. The lush green Asturian countryside and relaxed local culture add charm to what is arguably northern Spain's finest wave.
