Mellow righthander that picks up any swell from the north. Long rides that shoulder off predictably and give plenty of cutback practice for intermediates and cruisers. Best with east wind and low tide. When the Calima (east wind) pics up, windsurfers will rule the peak. Give them a couple of...

El Hierro

When the wind blows east or south west this will be the only spot on the north shore where you will find kites in the air. Easy parking and rigging on the uncrowded beach of El Hierro. The wind is side to side offshore and the waves clean and powerfull. You can launch from the beach if it is...

Majanicho

With north to north-east wind the bay of Majanicho will usually have a couple of kites. It’s a good alternative when El Cotillo is too big or too small. Not an epic spot, but good onshore fun in mushy waves. Best season: All year around.

Punta Blanca

Side onshore jump spot which allows a good snap coming in. Needs a small swell to be perfect, allthough it’s sailed all winter with big waves. In winter however it is usually the inside reform which is mostly sailed. Best at low tide with small northeast swell in summer and with high tide...

La Caleta

Another one of the best spots on the island in terms of waveriding. When it’s classic you will get loads of wind and masthigh waves with powerfull aerial sections. Down the line sailing allowing up to four turns. If it’s big you will be able to sail the smaller fun wave inside the...

Majanicho

One of the best spots on the island in terms of waveriding. When it’s classic you will get masthigh glassy waves for down the line windsurfing. Some powerfull aerial sections will make you totally stoked! Needs Calima (east) wind from the Sahara, this is side-offshore. If the outside is...

Bristol

Located right next to the wind turbine in Corralejo. Not such a popular spot. Needs a northwesterly wind and is mostly sailed when Bajo del Medio (Rocky Point) is too small. Best season: December till April.

Popular A-frame that starts working when the main spots on the north shore are oversized. Even surfable with (strong) onshore wind. Tip: Launch from the little beach in the corner of the bay to avoid a reef walk. Best season: November till April.

La 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...

Punta 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...

Punta 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...
