Rostro

Rostro is a west-facing beach break located on the Galician coast of northwestern Spain, characterized by a sandy beach backed by dense forest and agricultural land. The spot features consistent beach break conditions with a clear shoreline suitable for launching. The presence of visible rock formations along portions of the coast adds complexity to the break pattern. With average wind reliability of only 14.6% and average wind speeds of 7.8 knots, this is a marginal wind location that requires specific weather windows. Best conditions occur with northerly winds (0°) providing side-shore access parallel to the beach. The 2.28m average wave height and rough water conditions indicate moderate energy, though typical low wind reliability limits session frequency. Rostro suits beginners to early intermediates due to the beach break characteristics and generally manageable conditions, though the low wind reliability means sessions are weather-dependent. Kiters should monitor forecasts carefully, watch for rocky areas, and be aware that water temperatures average 15.4°C, requiring appropriate thermal protection. Access appears straightforward from nearby communities visible at beach edges.
