El Palmar

El Palmar is an SW-facing beach break in Vejer, Andalusia, Spain. It picks up swell from SW to WNW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 68% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the NE: light winds or NE breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while SW onshores chop it up.
