Surf La Izquierda (Spanish Left)

La Izquierda (Spanish Left) - Playa de Las Americas La Izquierda features powerful left-hand waves breaking over a rocky reef, characterized by hollow and fast rides. The wave can spin down the line for up to 100 meters, making it a thrilling experience for skilled surfers. Access is easy, with instant access from Veronica's strip, and it works at all tides. This spot is known for its heavy localism, so respect and local knowledge are essential. The paddle out is straightforward, but caution is advised due to sharp volcanic rocks. Expect a crowded lineup, especially on weekends, as the single peak attracts many surfers. The ideal wind direction is from the east, and the wave conditions are best with a northwest or west swell. While the atmosphere can be intense, mingling with local surfers and showing respect can enhance your experience at this iconic surf destination.
