Mundaka buoy: live swell

Mundaka is a left at the mouth of the Urdaibai estuary, peeling in long barrels over the sandbank built by the river. It only works with a solid north-west swell, best on a dropping tide. The Bilbao-Vizcaya buoy, 37 km offshore, sits right in line with the swell that makes it break.
