General Description
Mundaka is one of the gems of the Basque Coast and is truly an epic wave. The waves here break left on the rivermouth sand bar and provide a long, powerful barreling ride. It holds big swells and is the best wave in Europe when it is on.
The wave has been under threat over the last few years due to dredging in the area and even stopped breaking at one point. Fortunately the wave is now by UNESCO and hopefully it's future as one of the great world waves is assured.
Mundaka now plays host to a stop on the ASP World Tour.
General Info
How to get there
