Flounder Sailing is a week long surf charter exploring and discovering the Oriental Islands of the Canaries – Lanzarote, La Graciosa, Fuerteventura and Lobos. You’ll be aboard a Jeanneau Sun Fast, a beautiful sailing yacht. The experienced Captian, an avid surfer himself, will navigate guests to the best surfing spots, as well as whale and dolphin watching, hard core sailing, sunset island adventures and snorkeling with mantas.
Surfing
Los Lobos
World-class right-hand pointbreak that sometimes breaks for 400m along a small uninhabited island near Carralejo. Really sectiony when it’s small but with a big north swell, the waves are long with 3 nice tube sections. Lots of people and the locals are ruthless when it’s on. There are several ferries mid-morning and the last one comes back at 16:30. Authorisation is required for camping.
La Derecha/Bubble
Very powerful peak with perfect right and left bowls breaking onto reef. The most well-known spot on the island and this is where the contests are held.
La Izquierda
An easier wave to surf than the nearby Bubble. Works very often and is always busy.
Famara
A huge bay of 5km lies at the foot of the lava mountains. Sandy bottom – left and right peaks whose size depends on the swell direction. A good left near the port of the little village of Caleta Famara.
Playa de la Canteria
This high tide spot works well with northerly swells. A fun place to surf before taking the ferry to Graciosa.
San Juan
A perfect left to the west of the bay of Famara, sheltered by the S/W wind that blows towards La Santa.
Caleta de Cabello
Good at high tide. A consistent hollow left that works with a north swell. Ghost Town and Chickens are hollow and radical waves nearby.
Boca del Abajo
Super fast left that breaks in shallow water and works at around 1.5 – 2 metres. From the La Santa Club, take the Isleta road that drops down to a small bay where you’ll find this fun, hollow wave.
Morro Negro
This world-class wave can be found at the south western point of the Isleta. Long walls with hollow sections and a fun beachbreak. Holds a big swell. Watch out for crowds and the long paddle to the lineup.
La Santa
A left that sucks up with good tubes. Super consistent on a high tide. Watch out for the locals who sometimes lock down access to the spot.
El Quemao
A short but powerful left that holds up to 4 – 5 metres easily. Nicknamed the Canaries Pipeline. Only for experienced surfers and kamikazes…
Arieta
When the swell is too big on the west coast, the NE coast works well as it’s is more sheltered. A fun beachbreak located at the south of the village. Fast and hollow waves.
Jameos del Agua
More a summer spot – opposite the carpark. At the north end of the beach you can find a nice spot called Los Aulagas. Fun rights and lefts.

Surfing
There are surf spots on all the islands. Their far south location in Europe allows quality swells the time to form in the Atlantic. The hot summers and the warm winters (in and out of the water) and consistent swells make the Canaries an ideal surfing destination.The main surfing destination are the larger islands of Lanzarote and Fuerteventura. The best swells are from the north, and although these swells often have long wave periods due to the distance travelled, they can be spoiled by the north easterly trade winds. Surfing in the Canary Islands is often done first thing in the morning, to avoid the afternoon winds. Many of the waves found in the Canary Islands are fast and powerful ones, breaking in shallow water.
