Surfing on the island of Tenerife varies from spot to spot and is of great quality. There are spots with perfect waves for those who want to learn and spots with waves of recognized international quality, where the WQS ( World Qualifing Series ) organizes some surfing competitions. Waves like Spanish Left, El Conquistador, El Dedo and La Derecha make everyone dream, beginners and pros!!!! The water temperature is mild in winter (at most you use a 3.2 wetsuit), and in summer you can surf in a bathing suit or a wetsuit.
