Son Serra de Marina

Son Serra de Marina is a laid-back surf spot on the north-east coast of Mallorca, Spain, facing the Mediterranean Sea. It’s known less for reliable big-wave surfing and more for its uncrowded, natural setting, making it a favorite for longboarders, beginner surfers, and surf travelers looking for a relaxed atmosphere.

Spot description

• Beach break with a generally sandy bottom
• Waves are usually small to moderate, but can get fun with the right wind and swell
• Works best when the sea receives a north or northwest swell
• Often prefers offshore winds from the south or southwest
• Can be quite temperamental and inconsistent, as is common with Mediterranean surf

Conditions
