Playa de Penarronda Swimming Forecast

Playa de Penarronda scores 77/100 for swimming today at its best ability level (expert). The beach faces N. A protected sandy bay on Asturias's Atlantic coast, cliff-flanked and split by a rocky outcrop and stream mouth. An exposed beach break over sand gives lefts and rights from waist-high to double-overhead, best in winter with southwest wind and northwest swell; a popular summer bathing bay yet rarely crowded. Dogs and nudism are prohibited; lifeguards operate in season. The central outcrop, exposed at low tide, submerges as tide rises; best around mid tide.
