THE SURF
Situated off the west coast of Africa and open to north
Atlantic
swells
Fuerteventura
starts
to receive
the brunt
of North
Atlantic
swells
from October
to April.
The Jandia peninsula is an excellent training ground
for beginners
and intermediates,
especially
during
the summer
months.
There are
long natural
beaches protected
by a small
headlands
and
numerous
peaks that
work on
different
swell,
tide and
wind conditions.
The beach at la Pared
at low tide
provides
mellow
waves and
a safe
environment
to learn
how to
surf. The
local vibe
is good
and crowding
is not
a problem
as there
is always
an empty
peak further
down the
beach or
at the
neighbouring
Playa de Garcey (aka Shipwreck beach).
Rumour
has it
that there's
some epic
surf to
be had
in the
far south of
the island,
you've
just got
to have
a look
around when
the conditions
are right.

Our 'Southern Exposure' surfing holidays are a must for anyone wanting to learn to surf in warm clear water in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
Experienced surfers will find a wide range of challenging
waves from
October
to April
when powerful
Atlantic
swells
produce
heavy,
consistent
waves with
near Hawaiin
power on
the reefs
and points
dotted
around
the island.
There's
also the
island
of Los
Lobos to
explore plus some world class reefs further
north!
People new to surfing and beginners will prefer the
waves in
the south
that typically
break over
a sandy
bottom
and are
mellower
than their
couterparts
especially
during
the summer
months
from May
to Sept. Intermediate surfers will find more challenging
conditions
in the
Autumn
time from
Sept. onwards.
