Surf Las Americas
Las Americas
Playa de las Américas, in southern Tenerife, is the jewel of island surfing thanks to its consistency and variety. It's a volcanic reef break that offers powerful, fast left-hand waves—most notably the iconic spot called "La Izquierda"—as well as an equally challenging right-hander known as "La Derecha del Cartel." These waves, especially active between October and March, can reach over 1.8 meters and attract advanced surfers.
But it's not all about technical demands. The beach is very popular with surf schools: it has reasonably safe surf zones and group lessons available year-round, starting from just €40 per session, even for children as young as 8 or 10. This accessibility, along with the infrastructure (board rentals, shops, showers, and good transport links), makes it suitable for beginners and intermediate surfers.
As an added bonus, Arona City Council has installed informational signage in five key surfing areas (La Izquierda, El Medio, La Derecha, El Dedo, Fitenia), with updated maps, rules, and tides to improve surfer safety and experience.
