Torre Bank
Edit SpotAbout
Is my best meditrerranian spot!! Good rights, long rides and a lot of things wich are difficult to find in the mediterranean sea for a surfer.
Atmosphere:
This is one of the best waves on Tarragona zone. His right wave is very regular and is not very crowded never. The sessions with one to four friends are the normaly here. Friendly atmosphere, but respect the locals.
Additional Info:
Park car in the streets of the village of Torredembarra, or inside the harbour.
This spot is very similar to Comandancia (Tarragona), but Torrebank is more regular than the other surf spots of the zone, and the sandbar of the bottom don't moves too much.
The takeoff area is very concentrated and respect the few locals.
