Weather and waves in El Palmar.
Four keys to understanding the El Palmar forecast and choosing the best time to surf.
Waves: height and period
Height shows the size of the swell and period its power. A long period usually brings cleaner waves with more push.
Wind: levante and poniente
A light levante (easterly) blows offshore and cleans up the waves. The poniente (westerly) blows onshore and makes them messy.
Tide
The tide changes how the wave breaks on the sandbank. Mid tide is usually the best at El Palmar beach.
Best season
From autumn to spring the waves are most consistent. In summer the sea is calmer: perfect for learning.

The levante (easterly wind) blows from land to sea and, if light, grooms and cleans the waves. The poniente (westerly) comes in from the sea and usually chops up the surface. With very strong levante the sea flattens and paddling gets hard.
It depends on the sandbank and the size of the waves each day. In general, mid tide gives the cleanest waves. If in doubt, message us and we’ll tell you the best time to get in the water.
Autumn, winter and spring usually bring the most consistent waves to El Palmar beach. In summer the waves are smaller and gentler, ideal for learning to surf and for your first surf lesson.
Yes. Small waves are perfect for beginners. And depending on each day’s forecast, we move to the beach with the best conditions: El Palmar, Barbate or Caños de Meca.
