Basque Country: Spring Shows Up Big Time

Winter might be over in the northern hemisphere, but it certainly doesn’t feel that way. A huge swell made its way across the North Atlantic last week, but with strong SW wind, most regions of Western Europe were simply a write-off.

The Basque Country was a different story. Mundaka looked very much the part, especially through our surf cam. Conditions were somewhat challenging but a few gems were available in the small window around mid-tide. And while that was happening, the Basque’s big wave spot of Roca Puta lit up for the first time in a while, a tight-knit crew waited patiently for the afternoon swell to fill-in and the wind to swing offshore. Come see the likes of Aritz Aranburu, Natxo Gonzalez and Indar Unanue take a swing at this thing, as well as a close-call getting back in for charger Xabi Lopez. Hit play above.

Portfolio: Surf Photographer Javier Muñoz

Javier Muñoz, a.k.a. “Pacotwo,” is one of the Basque country’s most prolific documenters of the surfing life. The portfolio of Muñoz’s work presented in issue 24.5 of the magazine strings together the ultimate surfing Euro trip with the help of his local expertise. There are the reliable surfing stops: Mundaka, Biarritz, Peniche. But also the fickle and surprising surf destinations like Ibiza and Lanzarote. Here Muñoz and his fellow countrymen provide a brief look at the hunt for surf and print-worthy images close to home.
