Same as Playa de Inlglés, surf here is better during summer months and consists of small beachbreaks. When a big swells hits though, the small beach breaks can become a very nice, mellow right hander. Often crowded with schools and swimmers.
Arguineguin
Level: intermediate - advanced Tide: low - mid Crowd: mid – high Board type: longboard, shortboard
Forecast: https://es.surf-forecast.com/breaks/Arguineguin/forecasts/latest/six_day
The cradle of surf in Gran Canaria. This was the first surfing spot in the island, adopted by a hippie community that made Arguineguin its home back in the 1960's.
Depending on the direction of the swell, two waves can form. And they are both superb when it's firing. If the swell is SW, a faster right hander forms on the west end of the beach. If the swell is SE, a mellower left hander forms to the east, towards the cement factory. It`s a very popular spot for longboarders and shortboarders alike.
Surfable during mid to low tide.
