Playa de Esquinzo Swimming Forecast

Playa de Esquinzo scores 66/100 for swimming today at its best ability level (expert). The beach faces NW. A remote, horseshoe-shaped cove roughly 300m long flanked by high volcanic cliffs on an exposed northwest Atlantic coast, reached only by an unpaved track. A sand-and-stone beach break produces powerful lefts and rights from SW-to-NE swell, working around 0.6-2.4m, best at mid-to-high tide with light offshore wind. Strong currents and rip hazards are reported, there is no lifeguard, and emergency response would take time over the remote tracks.
