San Sebastian Surf Guide
Playa de la Zurriola, set in the heart of this urban setting, is a quality beachbreak. The sandy beach has a series of peaks that shift with the tides and swells. At the western end, a long stone jetty follows the river out into the bay. The eastern edge of the bay sees sandbanks form especially well, a righthander being the most consistent.
