Additional Surfing Infos
 The spot is excellent. The beach has several breaks:
- On the left, you'll find a long wave.
- In the middle of the beach, there is a channel which sometimes helps you to get out beyond the break. Long lefts and rights. Pretty interesting. At low tides, a few rocks appear.
- On the right of the beach, at low tide and with a good swell (1.5 m minimum), there is a hollow, fast right along the cliff.
It works even if the wind is North East. At high tide, it works only with a big swell.
  Overview
  Atmosphere A lot of locals, and the level is high. Gets crowded when waves are good.

Sunday Afternoon, New board
First time at los locos with new board. Yellow flag flying. Learned how to balance myself on the board, paddle out beyond break zone and break through waves. Managed to get to my knees a couple of times. As this is only my second day with a full si

los locals
Found it a bit overrated. We ended up heading up the coast every day to San Vincente. At least there the waves were deserted....the locals have some serious attitude, and the wave wasn´t great (closeouts for the most part). I would love to ´do´this coast in the autumn when some serious swell hits as there are so many sheltered spots that need a big swell to get going. By the way, I can recommend The Big Blue Surf Guide to Spain - very useful.

I've surfed there 3 years running when traveling across the north coast. It's always more crowded every year. The waves are fairly nice there, but it's hard work getting any of the good ones because the locals are all over them. We camped in the campsite in suances, the guy who runs it was really helpful and friendly.

Superb bay
I've been there in september for 2 weeks, it's almost always good. We had two days of crapy surf and sometimes the swell was to big for the small bay, but all the other days good surf on all tides (midtide is best). Locals are very friendly, if you respect the rules and don't get in there way, like everywhere i guess. The level of performance is very high especially when it's on. Maybe one disadvantage (for beginning surfers), it's always crowded and it's a small bay so my advise for beginners, don't go to Los Locos!I will be back, that's for sure
