Espigon does not suit beginners. This is the forecast for intermediates, so you can see what it does.

About Espigon
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces SE (152°), so it takes swell from the SE. The wind blows offshore from the NW (332°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 2–9 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 2.6 km out (1 in 256). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 10°C in August, its coldest month (4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves), and 21°C in February, its warmest (2 mm shorty). For intermediate surfers the best month is usually May, with about 2 good days in 7; in January and November, about 0. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is El Cóndor.
Water about 15°C: 4/3 wetsuit and boots. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
