Description

El Chanquete - Málaga El Chanquete features a sandbar wave that breaks both right and left over a sandy bottom with some rocks. This spot is accessible in the El Palo neighborhood of Málaga, requiring a short walk of 5-15 minutes. It works at all tides, particularly during a rising tide, and is best surfed on poniente days from October. Known locally as Playa del Dedo, this surf spot offers a more relaxed atmosphere compared to the crowded city breaks of Misericordia and Malagueta. It attracts few surfers during the week but can get crowded on weekends. The gentle waves make it ideal for beginners and those looking to refine their skills. Additionally, its proximity to the famous fish restaurant "El Tintero" adds to the appeal, making it a perfect destination for a laid-back surf session followed by a meal.
