Astúrias
Edit SpotAbout
On rare perfect days, the rights in Galhetas can be unforgettable...
Atmosphere:
As East swells are less common than others, locals are hungry for this wave when it´s working. On regular days the spot gets full of local kids, and they can be really annoying.
But on big days, there are waves for everybody.
Additional Info:
Works with East swells. There are waves all along the beach, but on good days the right peak (Galhetas) produces good and long rights. Low tide with tubes, and high tide perfect for long boards.
