Cullera/Jucar Surf Guide
A long stretch of resort beach that mostly produces short, peaky waves in windswells, but is exposed to a decent fetch when a northeasterly blows. The main beach has a breakwater at the northern end, look for a peeling left here at low tide in big storm swells. To the south, the mouth of the Jucar river has a breakwater with wedgy rights.
