Rota Chorrillo

Rota Chorrillo is a bay-facing beach break located in southwestern Spain near Cádiz, characterized by a crescent-shaped sandy beach with moderate fetch. The spot faces northwest into the Atlantic, providing natural wave formation from Atlantic swells. Water conditions are typically mild with low to moderate wave heights (average 0.89m), making this an accessible location for learners. The beach is sheltered from strong offshore winds by hills and forested areas to the north and east. Wind reliability is relatively low at 8.7%, suggesting inconsistent conditions. The immediate area shows significant port infrastructure on the eastern side, requiring awareness of boat traffic during sessions. The wide sandy beach provides good bailout space, though shallow water near shore may require care during light wind sessions. Best conditions occur with northeast winds (45°), which provide side-shore orientation. This spot suits beginners to early intermediate riders seeking mild conditions and manageable wave sizes in a protected bay setting.
