Autumn is a good time to practice surfing, as can be seen in these photographs in La Vanguardia’s Readers’ Photos, in which we see how the waves make the surfer enjoy themselves on Gavà beach, in Baix Llobregat.
At this time of year, surfers find better times to practice their favorite sport because it is the low season on the beach and there are practically no bathers, although the good temperatures of this autumn there are days that have once again reproduced summer scenes on the Catalan coast.
Surfers have confirmed that storms are a good way to surf in the Barcelona area. Although the ideal is for the storm to be far from the coast, this way the waves arrive without so much wind.
If we look at the beaches of the city of Barcelona, ??it is considered that surfing generally requires being very attentive because the waves are not easy to predict.
But, when it gets right, Barceloneta, for example, can become a high-quality location for surfing, according to practitioners.
So much so that the surfing community is increasingly important now in Barcelona, ??which has even created jobs.
Starting this Thursday, Storm Aline will leave a strong storm across the entire peninsula with wind gusts close to 100 kilometers per hour, heavy rain, strong waves and the first snow of autumn in the northern mountains, according to the Agency’s forecast. State of Meteorology (Aemet).
