Surf Spot Guide
San Juan La Famara Lanzarote
Drive west out of Famara town on the Av. del Marinero and you’ll come to a dusty carpark that’s hemmed in by a few low dunes. Park up and walk to San Juan Beach along the short track from there. You’ll be faced with what’s considered one of the finest left-hand breaks on the island. It’s basically a fat wedge that walls up fast and offers decent rippable walls for about 20-40 metres. Works best at S-SE offshore and a low tide combo. Watch out for the rock-sand bottom and rips.
