La Graciosa is an ideal place for surfing due to its geographical conditions. On the island, you can find different spots for surfing, both for beginners and experienced surfers. Surfing on the island is magnificent, and there are usually few people in the peaks.
It is important to keep in mind that La Graciosa has a marine reserve, so it is essential to respect the fishing and water sports regulations established for its conservation. Furthermore, the best time to practice surfing on the island is during the winter months when the sea conditions are more favorable.
It is a white sand beach located in the south of the island. Over its rocky shallows, a long and tubular right wave breaks, with many perfect sections, a dream wave that breaks when everything is out of sync with the west swell. The wind is almost always offshore since the only bad wind in this spot is the west wind.
It measures about 435 meters in length and 30 meters in average width, with fine sand and unbeatable turquoise and green...
It is a left wave that breaks in an incomparable setting in the southwest of La Graciosa. The wave breaks when a large swell comes from the west. This spot is sheltered from the worst winds, so it is usually glassy. The wave is very fast and tubular, and you can surf it at both tides. If you don't arrive by boat, the walk from the village is significant, and the sandbanks make walking or biking even heavier. If there are waves, you won't regret having struggled to get there.
With an average width of about 50 meters, it is a true luxury; its golden sand, calm sea, and turquoise and green waters...
It is a perfect left wave, long and tubular, that breaks to the north of the west of the island. It needs the sea to come from the west as well and the wind from the east. On its best days, the drops are very difficult, and the arm is equally high at the beginning and the end of the wave. To get here, you have to take the path that goes directly to the southern volcano of the island and passes near its southern slope; once there, you can see the wave breaking at the end of the path. To the right of the Corral, an impressive right wave breaks.
It is a very powerful right wave. It is usually surfed at low tide, and the southeast winds work best for it. This wave breaks near a small dump in the northwest of the island. To get here, you must walk among the volcanoes and take the path that leads to the coast to the north. Here, the coast offers you some gifts of modernity and technological advancement: tar, wood, boat ropes, etc. Its north-facing coast graciously receives all these little gifts.
It breaks about 200 meters from the Baja del Ganado beach. It is a very long right wave that depends heavily on the direction of the sea. When the conditions are perfect, the different sections of the wave join into one, offering you endless rights.
The Alambre is a sandy beach that has several interesting peaks. Its orientation is different from the others, as it is the southwest winds that work well for it. On days with a north swell, you have quality waves that few have had the opportunity to surf.
Pedro Barba is a summer village located to the east of the island. Here, a left wave breaks perpendicular to the coast and next to the village dock when the northeast swell comes in. The wind here is usually good, but the wave is not great; it is normally the only option when conditions are not good at other better spots.
It is the second human settlement to have colonized the island of La Graciosa, now transformed into an exclusive and pri...
