Zarautz Hondartza Swimming Forecast

Zarautz Hondartza scores 77/100 for swimming today at its best ability level (expert). The beach faces N. A long, north-facing sandy beach break with reliable, consistent surf peeling both left and right; best on a north-northwest groundswell with offshore south wind. Crowding, rather than submerged hazards, is the main concern. A municipal flag system separates bathing zones from designated surf and watersports zones, and the eastern end borders a protected dune and marsh reserve with areas closed to protect nesting birds. Dogs are banned in summer daytime.
