Random Query: Surfing in Nerja
Hi folks. This is a totally random one I know. I have dabbled in surfing in Ireland and a move to Granada is on the cards next year with my missus who is from Granada.
I was in Nerja recently and while at the balcon de Europa one day, I noticed some really nice waves on both beaches on both sides of the balcon.
Nice waves for me, a novice and looked like they would have been perfect for a bodyboard or longboard. I noticed there weren't any people with bodyboards in the water, so I guessed that these activities are either banned or deemed too dangerous. Maybe the currents there are pretty bad? There were enough kids in the water to suggest otherwise though.
I would potentially be staying in La Herradura frequently, and the water there is as flat as a pancake, so if Nerja was a runner, I'd invest in a nice little bodyboard and head to Nerja for some wave fun.
I have been to El Palmar too, and can't wait to go back!

Make sure your vaccinations are all up to date. The Nerja Sewage works are not completed yet and all the town's sewage goes straight into the sea.
Nothing would persuade me to go anywhere that water!

Sorry I can't help you more.

Portugal would be closer. I believe they get some of the biggest waves in the world.

Re: Random Query: Surfing in Nerja
Well, based on some of the meals I've cooked, and eaten entirely, the waters around Nerja should be perfectly ok for me
