Rinlo, Galicia, Spain (43°7'31"N,7°6'30"W)
Where: NW Spain, close to the town of Ribadeo in the north-east of Galicia, right on the border with Asturias.
What: A relatively short, powerful point that breaks left off a small island and onto a rock bottom. It starts to work around 5-6ft and can hold up to solid 12ft. Works best at mid-tide, too high and you'll start to get backwash off the rocks.
Winds: Any south wind combination works as the spot is well sheltered by the steep, rugged coast, straight offshore is from the south. 
Water temperature: 10°C (February) and 18°C (September).
Season: Autumn and winter are best as it needs a bit a swell to start breaking. Does occasionally work during summer months.
What board to bring: 6'3" to 6'8".
Swell window: A north west swell is best.
Where to stay: 
You're better off heading to the nearby town of Ribadeo, a 10 minute drive away. There you'll find a youth hostel and a few low-budget hotels to choose from. Otherwise there are several campsites west towards Foz but only open during the summer months.
