Intermediate Surf Spots Fuerteventura

Intermediate Surf Spots Fuerteventura

Have you been surfing for a while? Are you looking for waves to practice your skills on? But do the dumping double overhead barrels of your dream surf spot on Google Images make your knees shake? Then take a look at this list of intermediate-friendly surf spots in Fuerteventura, Canary Islands, Spain

Of course it all depends on swell size and other weather conditions, whether a spot works for you or not. Yet, in general, these places have relatively soft-landing features (meaning: low risk of losing skin or breaking bones when wiping-out) and gently crumbling waves (as opposed to those that only crash on your head).

See below our top 3 surf spots for intermediate surfers on Fuerteventura:

1. Punta Elena (Rocky Point)
   Rocky point is a great wave that breaks over a shallow reef just outside Corralejo harbour. The Left wave, a little bit further out than the right, is great for both long and short boarders but can be a bit of a paddle out. The right hander is closer to the shore and closer to Corralejo town itself. This is the perfect wave for however this surf spot can get busy due to its close proximity to Corralejo. Remember your booties!
   Best surfed during high tide 


2. Punta Blanca
   A mellow reef break on Fuerteventura’s North Shore, which is good for those looking to surf a reef break for the first time. Easy entry and nice long rides. It is more suited to intermediates learning their first manouvers, and practising skills on green waves.
   Best surfed during mid to high tide 


3. Caletta
   Good intermediate reef break just before the fishing village of Majanicho. Mainly left hand waves but there is a faster right…just remember to kick out before it gets too shallow! 
   Best surfed during low to mid tide
