Bueu Agrelo

Bueu Agrelo is a sheltered bay on the Galician coast facing northwest into the Atlantic. The spot features a crescent sandy beach backed by dense residential development and forested hills. Rocky granite formations frame both sides of the bay entrance, creating a natural amphitheater. The bay configuration provides moderate protection from larger Atlantic swells while channeling wind through the opening. The shallow, sandy bottom and gradual beach break make this suitable for beginners to early intermediate riders. Water conditions appear calm due to bay shelter, though the low wind reliability (2.9%) and modest average wind speed (5.2 knots) suggest this is a marginal spot requiring optimal conditions. The presence of residential infrastructure indicates boat traffic and pedestrian activity, requiring situational awareness. Best conditions occur with northeasterly or easterly winds that approach side-shore angles. The spot works best during tidal ranges when water depth increases, and the forested hills provide some wind acceleration. Strong swimmers and those comfortable in populated areas will find this accessible.
