Zarautz

Zarautz, Basque Country, Spain

👥Crowded🌀Strong rips

Zarautz is the Basque Country's longest beach—a 2.8km stretch of sand that has become one of Spain's most popular surf destinations. The wave offers multiple peaks spread across the bay, with conditions ranging from beginner-friendly to challenging depending on swell size. It has produced world-class surfers and hosts regular competitions, but the crowds reflect its accessibility and consistency. The charming Basque town, excellent pintxos culture, and reliable waves make Zarautz a European surf trip staple despite the lineup congestion.
