Torre Bank (Torredembarra)

Torre Bank is an exposed right-hand sandbar break just by the Torredembarra harbour pier. Surfers typically look for hollow, fast, fun waves that are reported to be very consistent—around 150+ days per year—while also noting that summer can trend flatter. It works across all tides, with good sessions most often tied to a south to south-southeast swell (and also east components reported). The wave is described as peeling and hollow when conditions line up, and the break is reported to hold shape on larger swell, with activity starting under about 1 m and building to around 2.5 m+. Wind matters for wave quality: the cleanest conditions are generally associated with offshore north/northwest winds. A thermal SW pattern (Garbí) is common from spring through late summer, and the typical windier window reported for this spot is in the afternoon (about 13:00 to 18:00), which can affect both surf and kitesurfing possibilities. Safety planning should prioritize man-made hazards near the break (including buoys) and the social risks: localism and crowding are both specifically called out. When surf is up the spot can become quite busy in the water and may feel dangerous if you’re not comfortable sharing space and adhering to local etiquette. Kitesurfing, meanwhile, is described as possible outside peak summer bathing months, with additional restrictions in marked swimming zones from June to September.
