Razo is a vast, exposed beach break on the Galician coast of northwest Spain, between A Coruna and Carballo. The beach is enormous, stretching for kilometres of white sand facing northwest into the Atlantic. Multiple peaks break across the expanse and the spot rarely goes flat in winter. The landscape is wild and Celtic in character. It is one of Galicia's most consistent spots.
Picks up any north or north-westerly Atlantic swell with excellent consistency. A south-easterly wind is offshore. Works on all tides. The 3-6ft range is ideal. Galicia receives some of Europe's biggest swells and Razo handles moderate to large surf well. Consistent October through May.
The beach is vast with peaks forming along its entire length. The main access area is busiest. Walking in either direction reveals empty peaks. The banks shift but the sandy bottom is consistent.
Powerful currents on bigger swells. The exposed position means raw Atlantic power hits the beach. Cold water (4/3 wetsuit recommended year-round). The beach is large and remote; drifting far from your entry point is easy.
Free parking at the main beach access. Short walk to the sand. Limited facilities at the beach but the town of Carballo is nearby.
Quiet by European standards. Galicia's distance from major population centres keeps numbers low. Even on good days you might find 10-15 people on this enormous beach. Walking for 5 minutes guarantees empty peaks.
Razo is classic Galician surfing: consistent, powerful, empty. The mornings tend to be calmer before the sea breeze picks up. A Coruna (30 minutes) provides all necessary urban amenities. The local fish restaurants serve some of Spain's best seafood at very reasonable prices.

Based on historical weekly averages
Combining historical conditions with school holiday crowd pressure to find the sweet spot.
How busy each week is based on school holiday overlap from feeder markets.
The timing score combines two signals: historical conditions quality (how good the skiing or surfing typically is in a given week, based on 5 years of weather data) and crowd pressure (how many of this destination's feeder markets have school holidays that week).
Crowd pressure is weighted by each feeder country's share of visitors. If 40% of a resort's visitors come from France and France is on holiday, that contributes 0.40 to the crowd pressure score. Crowds can reduce the timing score by up to 35%, ensuring conditions still matter most.
Scores: 5 = great conditions with low crowds (the sweet spot). 4 = great conditions with moderate crowds, or good conditions with low crowds. 3 = average. 2 = below average conditions or very crowded. 1 = poor conditions or peak holiday chaos.

We compare the 7-day forecast to the last 5 years of marine data for the same week at Razo. The delta tells you whether conditions are shaping up better, worse, or about the same as a typical mid-June.
We score each day of the 7-day forecast using the same algorithm as the leaderboard, and highlight the highest scorer.

Honestly, no. Every break has tide windows, swell directions and reef contours that a global model cannot see. Treat the score as a starting point, then check a local cam.
The best week for surf at Razo is the week of 16 November (score 3/5) with low crowds.
Decent swell running. Plenty to work with. Light onshore crumble taking the edge off. Not enough swell to get this spot firing properly.
Heads up: jellyfish: high.
