It lies along Barcelona's southern coast, just a 30-minute walk from the city's main tourist attractions. <a href=\"https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/en\/las-ramblas-barcelona\/\">Las Ramblas<\/a> let alone <a href=\"https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/en\/barcelonas-gothic-quarter\/\">Gothic district<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>There are some interesting waves here, especially in autumn and spring. The northerly winds will help you get a good ride, but make sure you're on the right track. <strong>watch out for mountain gusts blowing down from the sierras<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>As far as waves are concerned, Barceloneta has a whole series of rather unpredictable sandbanks. The place is very lively, but this is mainly due to the presence of <strong>a few surf schools for tourists.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Indeed, few locals come to tackle the waves at Barcelonneta. However, you can make the most of your surfing session, then head off to the <a href=\"https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/en\/tapas-barcelona\/\">tapas bars<\/a> and nightlife in no time. Here, there's no need to take public transport or your car! Everything is just <strong>in a matter of moments.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/surf-barcelone.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2335\" src=\"https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/surf-barcelone-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"surfing barcelona\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/surf-barcelone-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/surf-barcelone-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/surf-barcelone-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/surf-barcelone-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/surf-barcelone.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc130226248\"><\/a><strong>Tyson a famous surf spot in Barcelona<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Look for the Wounded Star sculpture (known locally as The Cubes) on Platja de Sant Miquel, at the northwest end of Barceloneta beach. This is where <strong>the spot known as Tyson<\/strong> offers some of the city's most impressive waves.<\/p>\n<p>The waves you can find on the Tyson spot also exploit the wind coming from the nearby mountains. Thanks to its particular location, the rollers are much bigger and you can enjoy a range of exceptional sensations. It's a place <strong>perfect if you want to go surfing in Barcelona.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc130226249\"><\/a><strong>Killer Point, the locals' favorite spot<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Killers point is strongly protected by local surfers. It's not uncommon to find Barcelona's sportsmen and women on this part of the coast. Here, you can enjoy the best waves in town. This is due to <strong>the position of the beach in relation to the mountains.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here, you can encounter waves up to 2 m high. That's about as good as you can get on Barcelona's beaches. On site, you'll also find all the amenities you need to spend a pleasant afternoon. You can stop off at one of the many restaurants on site, and enjoy a delicious meal in one of the many restaurants. <strong>quench your thirst between two waves<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc130226250\"><\/a><strong>Surfing in Barcelona: Masnou<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Masnou is about 45 minutes by train from Sants station, <strong>in the heart of Barcelona.<\/strong> It's a trip that's often made by a host of local surfers due to the facilities on offer on this more southerly stretch of the city's surrounding coastline.<\/p>\n<p>Here, you can take advantage of the southerly winds, which give you access to sizeable waves. If that's not enough, you can enjoy the same sensations as in some towns in the south of France, <strong>perfect for surfing in the Mediterranean.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc130226251\"><\/a><strong>Enjoy the beach at Montgrat<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>On Masnou beach, you can also try your hand at surfing. Numerous agencies are on hand to give tourists access to this discipline. What's more, it's a little closer to town.<\/p>\n<p>The spot is a bit choppy and crowded, but sometimes fast and fun. The waves peak well when the sandbanks are good. It's the perfect place if you want to mix with <strong>the population of surfers who have come to discover Barcelona's waves.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc130226252\"><\/a><strong>Surfing in Barcelona: the beaches of Sitges<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Surfing at <a href=\"https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/en\/sitges\/\">Sitges<\/a> is very popular with Barcelona locals. It's also the best spot in the small seaside resort to the south-west of the city. I advise you to direct me to <strong>the place we call the Cemetery.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The name comes from the location, which is directly opposite the town's cemetery. There's a lot to like about surfing in Sitges. However, it's those accustomed to short boards who are more likely to be attracted. <strong>by this place next to the port of Aiguadolc.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Around Barcelona, there are plenty of places where you can go surfing. If you'd like to indulge in your favorite sport on vacation, I recommend the spots described in this article. You'll enjoy <strong>waves and exceptional sensations on the water.<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Faire du surf \u00e0 Barcelone, \u00e7a vous tente\u2009?
