Fuerteventura is the second largest island of the Canary Islands and is situated only 90km from the African Coast. It has a desert like scenery with some of the best surf, it’s also known as desert points (Punto del Desierto) as well as the“Hawaii” of Europe, thanks to the excellent quality of its waves. A warm climate which is cooled by Atlantic breezes benefits the surfer greatly in the morning and late afternoon when the offshore conditions generate world class surf. Fuerteventura is considered one of the best places in Europe for uncrowded spots. Furthermore, you not only will surf in Fuerteventura, you will be lucky to know other islands like Lobos Island and La Graciosa, far away from the crowd.
Surfing
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…
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 Izquierda
An easier wave to surf than the nearby Bubble. Works very often and is always busy.
Bubble
Very powerful peak with perfect right and left bowls breaking onto reef. Also known as La Derecha. The most well-known spot on Fuerteventura and this is where the contests are held.
