La Siesta is a left-hand reef and sand break sitting in a sheltered cove on the Costa Blanca coast near Javea, one of the more consistent surf windows on the Mediterranean east coast of Spain. The break peels along a mixed coral and sand bottom and produces rides of 50 to 150 metres on a good swell, making it one of the longer waves on this stretch. Swells arrive from the northeast and east, the prevailing fetch for the western Mediterranean, and the wave is best when a northwesterly offshore wind cleans up the faces in the cooler months between October and March. All tide marks work, though the incoming tide smooths out the sections and tends to give the cleanest shape. Rocky coastline surrounds the break and the water stays clear year-round, which combined with empty lineups makes this one of the more rewarding Mediterranean sessions when conditions align. Respect the locals is a standing convention at this spot.
