1. WHY FUERTEVENTURA IS THE BEST SURF DESTINATION IN EUROPE

Fuerteventura is one of the easternmost Canary Islands, exposed to swells from every direction of the Atlantic. Consistent waves, warm water all year, and a coastline that mixes reef, point and beach breaks make it the most complete surf island in Europe. From mellow whitewater for first-timers in Corralejo to heavy reefs on the North Shore, Fuerteventura has a wave for every level.

2. KEY POINTS

  • Where: 100 km long island, with surf spots all around the coast.
  • When: waves all year. The best swells run from October to April.
  • For whom: beginners, intermediates, advanced surfers and pros.
  • Water temperature: 18-23°C, a 2-3 mm wetsuit is enough.

3. GETTING THERE

By plane: Puerto del Rosario airport (FUE) is served by direct flights from most European hubs.
