21/11/2019 Surfing on the beaches of Lanzarote with Calima Surf School
Lanzarote has extraordinary conditions for the practice of surfing in all its forms (bodyboard, shortboard, longboard) so that currently the spots on the island are considered among the places with the most powerful and consistent waves in Europe.

However, we can find locations for all levels: from places with calm and safe waters to take the first steps in the world of surfing, to spots with big waves, only for the most expert surfers.

Lanzarote is surrounded by more than 300 volcanoes and about thirty areas with very good quality waves, it is the ideal place to surf all year round if you are a beginner and want to start surfing, however, if you are looking for more technical waves, September to the end of February are the best months for advanced surfers.

Come and enjoy your surfing holiday on the Canary Islands!

 


 

Where to surf on Lanzarote?

Calima surf camp is the most prestigious surf camp on the Canary Islands and is considered one of the best surf camps in Spain, an international surf school committed to teaching and training this fantastic sport.  Every year more than 1500 students from all over the world travel to Lanzarote to enjoy an unforgettable experience with the best professionals of this sport.

In the Famara natural reserve they carry out surfing, diving, kite surfing, stand up paddle, yoga and trekking activities. On the island of Lanzarote you will find the best climate, the best surfing environment to make good friends, the best facilities, and Famara has the best beach to learn how to surf.

Our friends from Calima Surf School recommend us a series of beaches where we will find the best waves to practice surfing, here we leave you the list:
 
  • Surfing in Arrecife. It is the capital of the island and there are few days when it is possible to practice surfing.
  • Surfing in  Arrieta. In this village we can find two areas where it is worth taking a good bath.
  • Surfing in  Jameos del Agua. The wave is a long left handed wave that starts at the point known as Punta Usaje and runs along the small bay always very close to the coast. Nice wave, short but intense with snorkeling session.
  • Surfing in  Punta Mujeres. It is one of the best waves on the island, but it breaks very infrequently. Although the right one at high tide is surfable, the left one is really worth it.
  • Surfing in  Orzola. Along the road to Orzola you will find quality waves that have no name and few have been surfed.
  • Surfing in  Playa del Risco. Below the Famara cliffs magnificent waves break when the sea comes in from the west and the wind is light from the south-east. The only problem is getting there.
  • Surfing in  Caleta de Famara. Famara is a sandy beach, situated in the north of Lanzarote. Near the beach is La Caleta de Famara: The best beach to learn how to surf in all the Canary Islands, with more than 5 kilometers of sand, where you can find the surf camps and surfing camps. If you are thinking of learning and doing a surfing course, we recommend the Calima surf school on Lanzarote, one of the most prestigious schools to learn how to surf on the Canary Islands.
  • Surfing in  Caleta de Caballo. In Caleta de Caballo you can find several spots of enormous category to enjoy a good session.
  • Surfing in  La Santa. La Santa is one of the best known places in Europe for surfing. In this area all the swells that are generated in the North Atlantic enter easily and powerfully. The candy of the surfers on Lanzarote, a luxury wave.
