Back to body boarding and surfing, if you drive to Perceheles beach which is accessible via a dirt road to the beach from a small town called Canada which is approx 35 mins drive from Condado. If you take the road to Mazarron but turn right when you get to the T junction/roundabout where you would normally turn left to go to the old town and port, follow that road about 5 mile to Canada, straight through town past the fruit farms and the beach is at the end. It's a small bay well hidden but due to more people now knowing about it, they actually had life guards when I was there last week.
I'm no surfer but my kids take their body boards with them and love it because of the high waves. It's a nice place but don't expect facilities though they parked a couple of loos there too recently.
Enjoy.
