Step 1
Find 3-meter waves at Faro de Calaburra. Looking more like an ocean break, Faro de Calaburra breaks both right and left. East winds make the best waves, but the break can be shallow at points, so watch for exposed rocks. The streets are lined with bright streetlights and you can surf at night here. Málaga is the closest city.

Step 2
Slot yourself in the lineup at Playa de la Carihuela. One of the best breaks in the area, this spot is almost always working and has good quality waves. The long beach is split by a port in the middle, and the northern end tends to be better and more crowded. Crowds are the norm, and jellyfish are present, too. Málaga is the closest city.

Step 3
Surf Murcia’s best wave, La Mojonera. Strange winds make La Mojonera a fickle breaking wave, but when it goes off, it really goes off. The take-off is steep and turns into a hollow section. Bigger swells make the wave longer, as opposed to taller. Murcia is the closest city.

Step 4
Head north to La Manga. La Manga is more consistent than nearby La Mojonera, the long peninsula giving many different beachbreaks along the shore. Being one of the more consistent breaks in Murcia, it gets crowded, but heading north just a little will provide some open breaks.
