El Puerto de Santa María is a small city located on the banks of the Guadalete River in the province of Cádiz in Andalusia, Spain. The landscape surrounding the city is characterized by the blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean, miles of sandy beaches, rolling hills covered in vineyards, and verdant forests. The area is home to several natural parks, including the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park and the Los Alcornocales Natural Park, both of which are known for their stunning landscapes and unique flora and fauna. The town itself is dotted with whitewashed buildings, historic landmarks, and bustling markets, giving it a quintessential Andalusian charm. The combination of spectacular natural beauty and traditional Spanish architecture makes El Puerto de Santa María a popular destination for both locals and tourists alike.

Check the Conditions tab for current wave height, swell and wind. Review the Quality tab for the latest Environment Agency classification. Always read recent community reports for local knowledge.

Check the Tides tab for today's high and low times. Many coastal spots are best around high tide when there's enough water depth, or during slack water when currents are weakest.

A tow float for visibility, warm layers for after, and footwear for rocky entries. In colder months, consider a wetsuit, gloves, and a swim cap.
