Long walled lefthander next to the port of Corralejo. Best with swell and wind from the west. Don’t surf the left with high tide, you can get smacked on the reef. At high tide the shorter righthander is the best option. Also known as: Harbour Wall. Best season: November till April.

0La Derecha de los Alemanes
‘La Derecha de los Alemanes’ is a steep right reef break that picks up any swell from north to west. On a good day you can score some barrel sections. With a big western swell The German Right is often the only rideable spot on the north shore. On smaller days you can also surf a...

0Esquinzo
Nice beachbreak with sometimes a barrel section. Picks up swell from north to west, but it has to be (very) small to be surfable. The huge cliffs will shelter you from the northern wind. You will score way longer rides than in El Cotillo. All year around spot.

Beachbreak for all levels, very popular by the local surf schools. Not surfable with high tide due to the water reaching all the way to the cliffs. Some barrel sections when it’s getting classic. Best season: October till March. © Surfer...

0El Burro
Nice A-frame in the middle of the dunes of Corralejo. Rarely works in winter because it needs a huge northwest swell. Most surfed in summer with northeast wind swell from knee to double overhead. Best in the morning and evening because windsurfers will take over the peak when the trade wind...

0Punta Blanca
Very good beginners spot with mellow and mushy waves. Perfect for your first long white water rides. A very untypical spot for the North Shore because the waves break quite disordered. Big or small, there’s always some foam to ride. Ocasionaly good for longboarders if it’s glassy and...

0Punta Gorda
Sheltered spot, ideal when it’s a bit too big, too messy or too windy everywhere else. Even surfable with (strong) onshore wind. Large swells reform on an often shallow take off zone. The wave then peels left into the bay offering several small sections. Careful to not get sucked out the...

0Bajo del Medio
When the North Shore is getting big, a peak breaks out between the island of Lobos and Corralejo. It starts outside as a big right shoulder that guarantees long rides. But inside there’s a faster and smaller left and right. The outside reef has become a famous SUP spot. Perfect for...
