About Razo
Razo is a highly exposed, expansive beach break situated along the Costa da Morte in Galicia, north-western Spain. The bathymetry relies entirely on mobile silica sandbanks that shift continuously under the influence of strong Atlantic currents and tidal fluctuations. Because the beach faces directly north-west, it acts as a magnet for unimpeded North Atlantic groundswells, making it one of the most consistent surf zones in the region. When groomed by a southerly offshore wind, the shifting banks produce punchy, A-frame peaks with both left and right options. The wave mechanics offer steep, rapid take-offs that transition into fast, carveable walls, occasionally throwing hollow sections on the lower tides. Due to the variable nature of the sandbars and the frequency of strong rip currents, ocean awareness is critical. Razo caters broadly to all abilities, but its more powerful, shifting peaks demand the spatial awareness and paddling strength of an intermediate surfer.

How often is this page updated?
Current conditions refresh every 6 hours when the cron runs. Hourly data updates every 30 minutes. The 7-day forecast, luck factor, and packing notes are all pre-computed at the same time.
What is the luck factor?
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 late April.
How is 'best session' picked?
We score each day of the 7-day forecast using the same algorithm as the leaderboard, and highlight the highest scorer.
Where does the data come from?
Open-Meteo's Marine API (swell height, period, water temperature) and Weather API (wind and conditions).
Does the score capture local knowledge?
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.
