When it comes to destinations for water sports, the Canary Islands are at the forefront as one of the most popular and sought-after places among surfers, whether they are beginners, amateurs or more advanced surfers. The reason? The huge number of waves suitable for this sport<\/a>, just like other activities such as kitesurfing<\/a><\/strong>. Curious to know more? In this article, we bring you 6 must-visit places to surf in Fuerteventura<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alongside the exceptional climate<\/strong> that accompanies the island all year round, the large waves sought after by the most experienced surfers can be found in the months running from October to April<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if you are just starting to stand up on the board and want to improve your technique with smaller waves<\/strong>, the island also allows you to do so during the summer at many beaches that are true sporting paradises<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are interested in discovering exactly where to surf in Fuerteventura<\/strong>, join us in this post where, from the Lopesan Group Blog, we will share the secrets of the island\u2019s top surfing spots<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our favourite beaches for surfing in Fuerteventura <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s take a look at the most popular spots, both for local surfers<\/strong> and for those visiting the island from abroad: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Los Lobos<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s start big with Los Lobos Beach<\/strong>. However, this is not exactly a beach for those who are just beginning to surf. The volcanic island of Los Lobos is usually chosen by the most experienced surfers<\/strong>, as it is characterised by having large waves<\/strong>, which result in both blue and transparent tubes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get there, the best option is to depart from the port of Corralejo<\/a><\/strong> and, once on the island, walk between 20 and 30 minutes<\/strong> until reaching the perfect surf spots for your level. It won\u2019t be too difficult and you will enjoy a spectacular natural setting<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Playa del Hierro<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We continue our list of recommended places for surfing in Fuerteventura aimed at true experts<\/strong>, as this is exactly what the waves at Playa del Hierro offer to the most experienced surfers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The intense swell<\/strong> and the accompanying winds cause the waves to break against the rocks of the volcanic reef<\/strong>, creating exceptional conditions for those looking for challenging experiences<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get there, you need to head to the north of the island, specifically to the fishing village area of Majanicho<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cotillo<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For those looking for places to surf in Fuerteventura at an intermediate or advanced level<\/strong>, this is the perfect spot to gather a group of friends and enjoy a day full of new challenges and adventures on the water<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is also worth mentioning that for beginners this is a perfect location during the summer season. If you are on holiday in summer and your goal is to improve or get back into surfing<\/strong>, El Cotillo is exactly what you have been looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if you feel fully prepared to take on bigger waves, winter is the season when El Cotillo becomes truly attractive<\/strong>. The beach conditions and stronger winds bring larger waves<\/strong> for those who enjoy going \u201cto the adrenaline limit\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get there, you should head to the small harbour in El Cotillo<\/strong>, and before reaching the village, take the gravel road. Once there, your next surfing adventure<\/strong> will be waiting at the foot of the hill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Moro<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Since we have already talked about places for surfing in Fuerteventura for more experienced surfers, let\u2019s lower the level a little and provide alternatives for those who are just starting out in this sport<\/strong>. For example, El Moro Beach<\/strong> is one place we highly recommend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The beach itself is beautiful: fine sand and crystal-clear waters<\/strong>, with waves breaking both left and right and a low-to-medium swell, making surfing for beginners truly easy and enjoyable<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Moro also has Drop Beach<\/strong>, located in Corralejo, and offers plenty of parking spaces for visitors arriving by car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Playa Punta Blanca<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We continue recommending places to surf in Fuerteventura for beginners, and this time we are referring to one of the surf schools on the island: Playa Punta Blanca<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The waves here are ideal for beginners who are starting to become familiar with surfing<\/strong>, as the beach offers different tides and waves of all kinds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flag Beach<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Although it is the favourite destination for windsurfing enthusiasts<\/strong>, it is also highly recommended for those who are hoping to \u201ccatch\u201d their first waves<\/strong> on a surfboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the things we really like about this beach is that it is very spacious<\/strong>, so stopping for one session or another will not bother anyone and may even help you learn from others<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The westerly winds and northern swell<\/strong> create plenty of opportunities to enjoy yourself, whatever the weather. And for those who do not have their own equipment, there are board and wetsuit rental services<\/strong> available in the area, making it a truly attractive and convenient destination<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To reach Flag Beach, head towards the north-east of the island, near the Corralejo Dunes Natural Park<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the Lopesan Group Blog, we recommend the top spots on the island<\/strong> for this sport. As you can see, there is no shortage of places to surf in Fuerteventura!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if we still have not convinced you, we make it even easier by inviting you to stay at our hotels in Fuerteventura<\/strong><\/a>, where you can enjoy a well-deserved rest after a long day at sea.
