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 early July.
We score each day of the 7-day forecast using the same algorithm as the leaderboard, and highlight the highest scorer.
Open-Meteo's Marine API (swell height, period, water temperature) and Weather API (wind and conditions).
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.
Small waves but still worth a paddle for keen surfers. Short-period wind swell: expect weak, crumbly faces. Moderate wind adding texture to the faces. Best conditions early morning before the sea breeze arrives. Not enough swell to get this spot firing properly.
Heads up: jellyfish: high.

The air here is 75% cleaner than the average comparison city right now.
Significantly cleaner air than a typical city. Ideal for outdoor exercise with minimal respiratory strain.
Not a pollutant. Ozone is naturally higher at altitude and near the coast, and lower in cities where traffic exhaust breaks it down. High readings here typically indicate clean air. Can cause short-term airway irritation during intense exercise but is not linked to the long-term health risks of particulate pollution.
Additive health score: each pollutant contributes points relative to its WHO 2021 guideline and long-term health impact (PM2.5 9, NO₂ 5, O₃ 3, PM10 2, SO₂ 1 at WHO limits). Data via Open-Meteo. City markers show live readings. Red line marks the WHO guideline. Updated 03:00

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.

View Best Time to Go →Combining historical conditions with school holiday crowd pressure to find the sweet spot.
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.
