Playa El Dedo Swimming Forecast

El Chanquete · Spain

Playa El Dedo scores 77/100 for swimming today at its best ability level (advanced). The beach faces S. A 550 m dark-sand beach east of Málaga, a beach-and-reef break facing south-southwest, picking up SE swell on offshore winds to form wedgy peaks, often flat in summer; submerged rocks are a hazard. A nearby marina jetty gives sheltered freeride kitesurfing and windsurfing, though the harbour makes kitesurfing generally poor in summer. Nudism is not permitted. A municipal lifeguard tower covers it daily 10:00-20:00 in high season, 11:00-19:00 off-season.
