La Mojonera, Murcia.
Surf spot guide · Mediterranean Spain, Spain
Fickle but powerful Murcia left over uneven reef, offering hollow sections and vertical drops when SE swell and NW offshores align.
La Mojonera is a left-hander over uneven reef to the right of El Mojon beach on the Murcia coast. It draws swell from the E-S quadrant and needs a northwesterly offshore to fire. The wave opens with a steep, critical near-vertical takeoff that demands commitment. It walls up through a mid-section before hitting a faster, hollower inside zone that intensifies with size. At smaller sizes it suits solid intermediates; once it climbs toward 1.5m the sections link up into something genuinely notable for the Mediterranean. The break is fickle: swell rarely arrives on this sheltered coast, and when it does the wind is frequently wrong. That rarity is exactly what earns it the standing as Murcias top wave. On those days when SE swell aligns with a proper NW offshore, performance sits well above regional expectations. Entry is directly off the beach to the right of El Mojon with no technical paddle-out. The peak draws a crowd when conditions stack, keeping numbers high on the rare good days.
Steep takeoff walls to a hollower inside that rewards the rare SE swell alignment.
