Palmar Webcam
Where is the El Palmar webcam located?

it provides a direct view of the beach's main surfing area.

The webcam lets you see the waves directly at that moment,
although
the image itself does not provide information about their

the
coming hours, you can also check the

this information together with the live image to better
understand
the sea conditions.
Does the tide affect surfing conditions at El Palmar?

the water.
