Best experienced when the wind is from the southeast and the swell is from the northwest, the beach break offers both lefts and rights.
La Concha
A nice mellow exposed beachbreak, La Concha has somewhat inconsistent surf. Best experienced when the swell angle is from the northwest and the wind direction is from the south, La Concha produces both right and left-handed waves. A good spot for beginners and intermediates, it can get quite crowded due to its proximity to the city.
Zarautz

Best around high tide when the wind is from the south and the swell direction is from the north-northwest, Zarautz is an exposed beach break that has both left and rights. Although a little bit out of San Sebastian, it is likely to be crowded if the waves are working.
Orio
Located to the west of San Sebastian, Orio is a reliable exposed beach/jetty/river mouth break. Orio is best experienced during the autumn months when the winds are from the south and the swell direction is from the northwest. With waves at the beach break creating both lefts and rights, this spot can get crowded when the surf is good.

When is the best time to surf in San Sebastian
San Sebastian boasts a fantastic climate, with mild winters and very sunny summers that range between 23C and 30C. Although relatively consistent all year round, the best time to visit San Sebastian for a surfing holiday can vary depending on the surfer’s ability.
The best time to visit San Sebastian for beginner surfers is between May and October. The water stays warm during the summer as a result of the flow of the Bay of Biscay making lessons very enjoyable. During this time you will only need a light wetsuit or shorts.
San Sebastian is a great surf spot for Intermediate surfers, with suitable conditions occurring all year round. The best months for intermediates to visit are September, October and November, when the swell has increased, and waves are more powerful than the summer months. Although the summer crowds will have disappeared, the water remains a pleasant temperature.
Rather than visit San Sebastian during the summer months when the waves are more gentle, expert surfers will be best suited to the surf conditions between November and March. Although water temperatures have cooled, the increased swell produces powerful waves that experts will enjoy and be challenged by.
