Berria is one of the most renowned surfing beaches in the Cantabria region, located in the city of Santoña. It offers powerful waves, stunning natural surroundings, and a variety of opportunities for surfers of all levels.
Berria’s reputation as a first-class surf spot has attracted local and international surfers.
Waves in Berria are generally powerful and vigorous due to their Atlantic origin. They are generated by winds and storms that form over the Atlantic Ocean and propagate toward the northern coast of Spain, producing waves of considerable strength.
The conformation of the bottom contributes to the formation of bars that can shape waves in particular ways. These bars often create waves that break evenly and cleanly, providing an excellent surface for performing maneuvers and tricks.
Despite the power and consistency of the waves, Berria is versatile enough to offer conditions suitable for surfers of all levels. While more experienced surfers can enjoy the challenges offered by big waves, beginners can find quieter, more accessible breaks all along the beach.
