Valdoviño

Valdoviño is a beach break located on the Galician coast of northwest Spain, where the shoreline faces northeast toward the Atlantic. The spot features a sandy beach bordered by dense forest vegetation and rocky terrain on the left flank. Wave conditions are consistent with average heights around 2.1m and rough water conditions typical of Atlantic exposure. The beach offers a defined break with natural sand banks that create organized wave patterns. Best conditions occur with westerly to northwesterly winds that provide reliable side-shore angles. The spot suits intermediate riders who can handle moderate wave size and variable conditions. Kiters should be prepared for the rough Atlantic conditions and pay attention to the rocky areas flanking the beach. Wind reliability is relatively low at 6%, making this a location where conditions must be carefully monitored. The forest backdrop provides some wind shadowing effects depending on wind direction. Water temperatures average around 15°C, requiring appropriate thermal protection. Access considerations should account for the forested terrain surrounding the beach.
