Surf Maspalomas

Maspalomas (Derecha del Faro) - Gran Canaria Maspalomas features both right and left-breaking waves over a sandy bottom with rock. The spot is accessible by car or taxi to the lighthouse, with instant access requiring less than 5 minutes of walking. It works best at mid tide during falling tide conditions, with fun wave power and typically empty crowds during the week. Located in one of Gran Canaria's prime beach resorts, Derecha del Faro can handle sizable swells, particularly from the West. The lengthy right-hand wave offers multiple sections for surfers, making it a versatile spot. While it may not always have optimal conditions, there are times when it truly shines. The scenic backdrop of dunes and a lake enhances the experience, though parking can be challenging due to fees. Despite its popularity among locals and tourists, the spot remains a worthwhile visit for those looking to enjoy both the waves and the stunning natural surroundings.
