From first thing in the morning, you can see people moving around Playa de Famara , one of the most popular places among the surfers who come to Lanzarote, especially those just beginning to ride the waves. This inlet of golden sand, close to La Caleta de Famara, extends for 3 kilometres, is free of rocks, and has the added bonus that the waves can break equally to the left and to the right.
It is important when choosing which particular stretch to surf on that you take account of the tide, the size of the waves, the wind direction and its strength. As this is a beach suitable for beginners, there are dozens of surfing schools that teach the basics, provide everything you will need and have their own defined areas of the beach.
More advanced surfers will also find a few spots in the Famara area where they can test their skills. This is an exclusive location, which offers the opportunity to execute a number of manoeuvres and tubes thanks to the length of the waves. At El Muelle , on the other hand, you will find long, fast rock waves, where you can show your skill with tubes and manoeuvres.
The experts also claim that the most impressive waves are 15 minutes from La Caleta, at El Quemao to be precise, and they have even been compared to the waves to be found in Hawaii. It is also worth knowing about the waves at La Santa and Caleta Caballo, which are among the most prized. Lastly, if you like big waves, one of the best spots on the island is at Playa de los Jameos del Agua — but take care with the currents.
But before you start seeking out those flights to the Costa del Sol, be warned: That means these specks in the Atlantic Ocean are more than 1, kilometers from the mainland of Spain. Check for flights to Lanzarote here. ATMs are on offer in most large towns but be wary that they can often be out of service for days on end. Cards are accepted in most neighborhood shops and cafes, usually with a minimum spend amount.
The waves will kick up in winter big time. Between November and March, the barrels at La Santa start to turn in earnest, magnetizing pros by the bucket load. Lanzarote is angled at a neat degrees at the eastern end of the Canaries. You can roughly divide it into two halves — the touristic south-east coast and the wilder north-west coast.
The beach at Caleta de Famara is a real stunner. Framed by high walls of ochre-tinted stone and the rugged tops of Risco Mountain, the sand stretches for more than four kilometres, starting at the town of Caleta and ending under the craggy Famara Cliffs to the north-west.
The bottom is all sand with a speckling of rocks, and the swells further from the town itself tend to be the punchier of the lot.
The little port and fishing and now surfing town of Orzola sits right on the northern tip of Lanzarote. Famara beach and our other locations are fun beach breaks and were really happy to be able to use them.
Some are very inaccurate but most are positive, as they should be. We are very blessed to have Famara Beach. Check the wave predictions on these two sites: Wind Guru Magic Seaweed. Check out our other Surf School in Sri Lanka.
