Description

Playa del Hombre - Telde, Gran Canaria Playa del Hombre features a sandbar wave that breaks both right and left over a sandy bottom with rocks. The waves are known for being hollow, fast, and powerful, making it suitable for various skill levels. Access is instant, taking less than 5 minutes on foot, and the beach is publicly accessible. As Telde's most popular surf spot, Playa del Hombre attracts a vibrant crowd, especially on weekends. It serves as a hub for the local surf community and regularly hosts competitions. While the waves can be challenging, they are also beginner-friendly, allowing surfers to hone their skills in a supportive environment. However, be prepared for localism and rips/undertow, which can pose dangers. With mid to high tide conditions and a rising tide movement, this spot offers consistent surf, making it a great choice for a solid session.
