The Canaries can justly lay claim to being the Hawaii of the Atlantic, and top surf spots are found all around Lanzarote. Prime season is winter, from November to late March, when waves commonly reach heights ranging from 1.5-4.5 m and hardly drop below head-high. The highly indented coastline on the NE, N and W coasts of the island offers a variety of breaks ranging in difficulty, so whether you're an experienced surfer or a beginner you can find your dream spot here.

Get ready, Lanzarote will challenge your surfing!

Lanzarote is the most easterly of the 7 major Canary Islands. Its arid, volcanic landscape and its amazing sea cliffs create a unique and dramatic scenery. If you are looking for nightlife head to the resort of Puerto del Carmen for a good selection of lively bars and clubs that are open every day until the wee hours. Sorry, no surfing spots in this area!
