Da Frouxeira

Da Frouxeira is a beach break located where a tidal river meets the Atlantic coast in Galicia, Spain. The spot features a sandy beach with an estuary mouth and rocky terrain inland. The coastline faces northeast toward open water, creating a funnel effect where river discharge meets ocean swell. Side-shore winds from the northwest (315°) are ideal, though the location experiences low wind reliability at 6%. Average wave height of 2.14m and rough water conditions indicate moderate exposure. The presence of tidal flats, sandbars, and rock formations requires careful navigation. Best conditions occur during incoming tides when water depth increases. The narrow beach and residential proximity make this an intermediate spot suited to riders comfortable with variable conditions, tidal dynamics, and navigating around fixed obstacles. Local knowledge of tide timing is essential for safe riding.
