Surfing at Igueste

A surfing spot with one of the best lefts in Tenerife

On the north-east coast of the island of Tenerife, near the village of Igueste de San Andrés, one of the best left waves for surfing on the island can be found. Its sections allow the surfer to choose each stretch according to his ability, without having to enter the main break, making the Igueste surf spot the perfect place for all levels. The wave is opposite a pebble beach where you can park without any problem.

Long waves for radical manoeuvres in Igueste de San Andrés

The fame of Igueste's left break is well deserved. Over a volcanic stone reef, it forms a long wave with large walls that allow for radical manoeuvres and powerful take-offs. When it's at its best, it forms incredibly hollow sections with pristine barrels. The most regular conditions exist from September to May. At low tide with NW-W-SW-S winds and N-NE-E swell is when you can really take advantage of this spot.

Sustainability

- Never leave waste of any type lying around, including cigarette butts. Leftover food leads to a proliferation of rats and wild cats, which pose a serious threat to the fauna.
- Do not throw any waste or other objects into the sea.
- Respect the animals. Do not bother them or feed them. If you see an injured specimen, you can call the emergency number: 112. Do not pick flowers or plants.
- Do not pick up or take away stones or any other item from the natural environment. And do not move them to pile them up into sadly famous 'towers'.
- Try to use ocean- friendly sun creams.
