Surfing

DEBA

Deba Beach is home to one of the biggest waves on the Basque coast, a right hand wave known as the Sorgin-Zulo, which is extremely strong and can reach up to 5 metres.

It is one of the not to be missed locations in winter.  Its rocky and sandy bed makes it even more

dangerous. On days when there isn’t a strong sea, the peaks are along the entire beach and closer to the shore, which may offer good sessions depending on the depth. It has a local surf club.
