Manresa
Edit SpotAbout
La Selva/Manresa is a great place to surf because it offers an escape from the crowds in town. Not to say it doesn't get crowded, but when it's good, there WILL be multiple uncrowed peaks. Take a walk up or down the beach and find yourself
your own! it gets pretty powerful in the winter and if you surf here over 6 feet you need to know what your doing.
Atmosphere:
Classic beachbreaks with just the right amount of people to allow space for everyone.
Additional Info:
Watch the currents, if you learn them, you will catch all the waves!
