Xagó

Xagó is a surf spot located in Asturias, Spain, in the municipality of Gozón. The spot sits on a long sandy beach, part of the Cabo Peñas Protected Landscape. The beach is nearly two kilometers long and about 120 meters wide. The bottom is sand, and you can surf here at all tides. Xagó is good for beginners when the waves are small and mellow, but when the swell gets bigger, it is better for more experienced surfers, so check your skills before paddling out, be sure that the spot and conditions fit your surfing level. The spot provides both left and right waves. Boards you can use here include beginner boards like mini-malibus, softboards, shortboards, mid and retro boards, and longboards. The surf spot is very consistent, with waves breaking less than 50 meters in length. The crowd is usually moderate, but respect the locals and always check the surf etiquette when the spot is crowded. For the best surf forecast, look for swells coming from the west, northwest, or north, with a minimum swell height of 2 feet. The best wind direction for surfing here is from the east, southeast, or south. Xagó is close to other surf spots like Salinas San Juan, Munielles, Luanco, Aguilar, and Xivares. The beach is also known for its large dune system, which covers over 35 hectares and is home to various plant species.
