Two coasts meet at Cape St. Vincent. The west coast faces the open Atlantic and its swell: surf beaches, cold water. The south coast faces Africa and is sheltered from the northwest swell, so the water there is calmer and warmer. An easterly wind (the levante) or a southwest storm turns that around: then the south coast gets the waves.
In summer the nortada, a north to northwest wind, blows off the land on the south coast in the afternoon.
