Traba

Traba is a beach break located on the northwestern coast of Galicia, Spain, facing northwest toward the Atlantic. The spot features a long sandy beach backed by agricultural land and dense forest, with a river mouth creating dynamic water conditions. The beach faces northwest, making northeast winds ideal for side-shore conditions. Average wave height of 2.28m with rough water conditions indicates consistent Atlantic swell exposure. This intermediate-level spot suits riders comfortable with variable conditions and some current management. Wind reliability is relatively low at 10.3%, requiring patience for adequate sessions. The river mouth creates shifting sand patterns and potential current flows that demand awareness. Water temperature averaging 15.1°C requires appropriate thermal protection. The tight landing zone between forest and beach, combined with tidal influences on the river mouth, means timing and spot knowledge are important. Best approached during tide windows that maximize beach space and minimize river mouth interference.
