All you need to know about surfing in Bizkaia: where to go and how to start with Uribe Kosta Surf Eskola<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Author:<\/strong> Mariya Zantsevich<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was that day when Plentzia bay was so smooth it felt like someone unplugged the Atlantic. No bumps, no lines, not even a teasing ripple to misread as a set. Surfers call this kind of wave drought \u201cflat\u201d. But for me, it was the perfect opportunity to line up my surf insiders for an interview. What followed is your ready-to-surf guide to the best Bizkaia spots for beginners and intermediate surfers, put together by Javier Bizkarguenaga \u2014 the man who\u2019s surfed for over 40 years \u2014 and his son Markel Bizkarguenaga Aguirre, former multi-time Basque surfing champion. With a few small but crucial tips from Markel as the cherry on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Short essay about Uribe Kosta Surf Eskola uribekostasurfeskola.com<\/a>:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The owner \u2014 Javier Bizkarguenaga, a Basque surfer who\u2019s been riding waves for over 40 years. He started long before webcams, or forecast apps and knows every rock, every sneaky current and spot between Bilbao and the cliffs of Cabo Ogo\u00f1o. Javier opened his school 22 years ago and has since become one of Europe\u2019s top judges at surf contests and competitions. On top of that, he still holds European records in several water and ocean-based Hobbies Sports events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His son \u2014 Markel, the school\u2019s head instructor and co-owner. A multiple-time Basque and Worldwide surfing champion (1\u2022 Grom search Europe Rip Curl<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sub 16; 2\u2022Pro Junior World Surf League Casablanca (Morocco); 3\u2022European Ranking Pro Junior World Surf League; 1\u2022 Mundaka Open Ehsf; 1\u2022 Basque open circuit, etc), he\u2019s an experienced, attentive coach who knows how to guide students with both skill and care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together, father and son have built a trusted crew of instructors whose main goal is to help you truly understand surfing and learn how to observe the Ocean. There is always a difference: standing up on a board can happen on your very first lesson, but staying in love with the sport is another story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The spots you\u2019d better know if you are up to surf in Bizkaia of Basque country<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Plentzia<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plentzia, Gorliz<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best for: beginners-intermediate<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tide: medium to low is ideal, especially to manage the currents<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wave: rights, lefts, great for learning longboard techniques<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These spots are perfect for beginners, though intermediate riders can have fun too when conditions are right. Plentzia is perfect for longboarding. Probably the best spot in the area for smooth, mellow rides. There are several areas to surf in: left, called River Spot, middle and more right peak. For River Spot, medium to low tide is usually better because of the current: when the tide is going down, the current pushes you outside toward the river area; when it\u2019s coming in, it goes toward the river. The current also can help you paddle out, but stay alert: it can push you too far, so approach the spot from the side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lifehacks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginners may want to stick to the middle of the beach to find consistent, gentle waves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SOPELANA & LA SALVAJE AREA<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Sitio<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Level: not recommended for beginners<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wave: mostly left, but both directions possible<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A rocky spot in front of the Sopelmar Club Social which rarely works with stronger swell. Waves appear only occasionally, and even Javier has barely seen people surf it. Pure rock, tricky access, and inconsistent shape \u2014 definitely not a go-to option for learning days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Atxabiril \/ El Pe\u00f1\u00f3n<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tide: mid to high<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best for: intermediates<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wave: beachbreak; lefts and rights<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is Sopelana\u2019s classic training area. A mellow beachbreak with approachable walls and plenty of space to learn. On a dropping tide, an outer left sometimes breaks in front of the rock \u2014 punchier and for more advanced riders. Come mid-summer, expect crowds. Friendly walls on a mid\u2013high tide, come on a small swell if you are not experienced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Corriente<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tide: mid\u2013high<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best for: Intermediate<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wave: mostly right, some lefts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right in the center of the Arrietara beach, La Corriente has earned its name honestly \u2014 \u201ccurrents\u201d in English. In the center of the beach, the water moves constantly, making it both a challenge and a perfect workout. Great for practicing positioning and paddling strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Larrabasterra:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tide: mid\u2013high<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best for: inside is ok for beginner-intermediate, the outer left is for experienced surfers only<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wave: mostly right, some lefts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In front of surf schools lies a forgiving spread of lefts and rights. But paddle out on a low tide and you encounter Sope Atras, an outer left that\u2019s heavier, hollower, and far less forgiving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Pasillo<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tide: mid\u2013high<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best for: beginners-intermediates<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

An inside sandbar in front of the surf school area. Soft, short, manageable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Reserva (outside of El Pasillo)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tide: works on most tides<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best for: intermediate\u2013advanced<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wave: mostly left; some rights<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Farther out lies La Reserva \u2014 heavier, longer, and more defined. A favorite for stronger days. It\u2019s a legit wave, but requires solid paddling and timing. Just don\u2019t mix up the two El Pasillo and La Reserva; the jump in power is dramatic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Triangu complex<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

La Izquierda de La Triangu<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best for: experienced<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tide: low<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wave: heavy left<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the very outside of La Triangu lies a left that demands respect. Sharp, powerful, and rock-framed, it awakens only with proper swell and low tide. A wave that punishes mistakes quickly. Definitely not a beginner\u2019s playground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Right of La Triangu<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best for: intermediate\u2013advanced<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tide: mid\u2013high<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wave: right<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A tricky right with deceptive walls \u2014 looks like it\u2019s offering long lines, but often sections out. The wall is deceptive, fading and reforming when it wants. Easier on a longboard; shortboarders need precision. Can hold up to 3\u20134 m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Corriente (Triangu version)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best for: advanced<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tide: low<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This one sits right next to the channel between La Triangu and the inside section. Extremely heavy currents \u2014 \u201clike a gym,\u201d Javier says. Requires nonstop paddling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warning: swimming here is dangerous, people have been swept into open ocean here; local lifeguards keep it under red flag constantly in summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Middle spot (right across from the path down to Barrienatxe)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best for: may be for all levels depending on swell and conditions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wave: rights, lefts \u2014 depending on a lot conditions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lefts and rights peel down the center of La Salvaje. Pretty comfortable for learning \u2014 unless the swell angle flips, then everything changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Azkorri<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best for: advanced<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wave: left and right<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A powerful, technical wave visible from La Salvaje when the swell is big. Breaks far from shore. Heavy water, dangerous conditions, not many people out. Requires solid surfing and confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getxo<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Punta Galea<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This spot is for experienced surfers and pros only, but we can\u2019t skip it. And here\u2019s why: Punta Galea is a legend in big wave surfing, where the Atlantic throws down some of the heaviest, most powerful swells in Europe. Waves can soar 8\u201312 meters, making it the home of the Punta Galea Challenge, one of the most prestigious big wave contests. Best swells hit in winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Puerto Viejo <\/strong>\u2013 Jeffry\u2019s, middle part<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best for: intermediates<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tide: mid-low tide, needs strong swell<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This spot works rarely on a big swell, but beware: the lineup can get crowded. Better for longboarders. The spot has a reputation \u2014 a lot of accidents have happened, partly because the water can be messy. Runoff from the city used to make it dirty, though conditions have improved in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Arena<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Best for: all levels depending on section<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right section: mostly rights, consistent<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Middle: lefts, rights<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Left section: mostly for locals, powerful left near the river mouth<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tide: low\u2013mid<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Less crowded than Sopelana, more raw than Plentzia, and home to long, satisfying rides. Strong currents keep you honest. Right side is more forgiving; left side is  much stronger.  Local energy is strong but respectful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bakio<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Three zones:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Puerto<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best for: Intermediate\u2013Advanced<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tide: mid\u2013low<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wave: right, sometimes left<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can hold huge swells; sometimes hosts local big-wave contests. When the swell is massive, this place turns into a serious arena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cajellon (in the middle)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best for: all levels depending on size; crowded with locals<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wave: lefts and rights<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most popular Bakio peak. Shifts depending on tides and sand. Lots of local surfers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pe\u00f1a Rojas<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best for: intermediate<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wave: mostly rights<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friendlier than the Puerto, more structured than the Cajellon, offers playful rights on the correct tide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mundaka<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best for: intermediate (on rare mellow days)\u2013advanced<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tide:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Low tide: best, hollow, fast, and VERY crowded<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Medium\u2013high: mellower, fewer tubes, fewer people<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another pro spot we can not skip from mentioning. It\u2019s not just a wave, it\u2019s a world class standard. A perfect sand-bottom left with two sections, requiring precision, speed, and patience. If you can surf Mundaka well, you can surf almost any left on the planet, Javier claims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And what to do for beginners? Schools take them to Laida, across the river, where the water is calm and the risks manageable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laga (near Cabo Ogo\u00f1o)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best for: beginner\u2013intermediate when small; experienced when bigger<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tide: low-mid<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wave: mostly right near Cabo Ogo\u00f1o; lefts and rights in the middle<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A stunning beach with fewer crowds than Bakio or Sopelana. Works with medium swell. Near the Ogo\u00f1o cliff, the right-hander becomes the best wave of the beach. On small days it\u2019s friendly; on big days, powerful and demanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ogeia<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best for: intermediate\u2013advanced<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tide:low\u2013medium<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wave: reef break; good lefts and very good rights<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A rocky reef break that works best with a strong swell. According to Javier, it\u2019s one of the best waves in the area, located just outside the beach, with picturesque, like water-colored mountains in the background. Best attended at low to medium tide. It\u2019s not for beginners, but it offers an unforgettable ride for those who can handle it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lekeitio<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best for: beginner\u2013intermediate on small waves; experienced on bigger swells<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tide:medium\u2013low<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wave: lefts at Isuntza, rights require strong swell; rocks and sand<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two beaches side by side, each offering its own character. Lefts at Isuntza are accessible and fun; rights need a big swell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Isla \u2014 a right-hander working best at low tide, with good lefts on bigger days. At medium tide, you can still find some waves in the middle of the beach. Perfect for exploring different sections depending on swell and tide, but keep an eye on the rocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the final touch, there are few tips for the beginners from Markel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you a beginner who just started or want to start but are scared of surfing or just don\u2019t know what to do? Here is your next steps:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re afraid of surfing, start small and work your way up. Fears arise when we think we already know everything and suddenly find ourselves surfing in rough waters in an unfamiliar place. You can always hire a professional to advise you on what to do and how to improve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re afraid because you’ve never surfed before, you should start with the smallest waves you can find, with the waves reaching your ankles or knees, using a softboard with plenty of volume. This will make it easier for you to catch the wave, regardless of its size, do the take off and get some feelings. From then on, get in more often, with small waves, and gain confidence in your abilities. Then, get in with bigger waves when you feel more confident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thinking on how to build confidence, stamina and some lifehacks to progress? Ok, here you go:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confidence is gained by working at it, as with anything else in life. The more you practice standing up, riding the wave, and feeling safe where you surf, the more your confidence will grow. And if you have the help of a professional to guide you, that confidence will surely increase faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the tip I would give for progressing is, before surfing if you have never surfed before, to practice your takeoff well outside of the water, then visualize where you are going to enter and what you are going to do when you enter the water, and put in the hours. That’s how you improve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Short sessions are more productive, 1 hour maximum, less fatigue, more energy, more attention, focus, and more action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to do if you are stuck with your progress and lose your motivation:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s normal to some times stuck and lose motivation when surfing for beginners. The learning curve is slow and not always linear. When this happens, it’s best to reconnect with the enjoyment of the ocean without putting pressure on yourself to improve. Change your routine: try a different board, go to a different spot, or take a lesson. Surfing with other people can also motivate you. Celebrate small advances, even if they’re minimal. And if you need to take a break for a few days, do it: rest is also part of progress. The important thing is not to forget why you started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
