Windsurf spots in North Fuerteventura

Kite Beach (Corralejo)

Kite Beach — long known as Flag Beach, officially Punta Prieta — is Corralejo's main learning and school beach, set in the Corralejo dunes natural park with a shallow, sandy bay and mostly flat water with a light shorebreak. The NE trade wind blows cross-shore from the left, building through the afternoon, so it suits beginners and improvers while advanced riders use it as a freeride and bump-and-jump base. The station on the beach is Line Up, founded by two-time kite speed world-record holder Manu Taub.

Wind: 15–25 kn · NE, N, E — Sports: windsurf, kite, wing, SUP, surf — Level: all levels — On site: school, rental, food

Rules: Protected natural park with a long-standing signposted system of separate zones for swimmers, kite and windsurf. Respect the designated windsurf zone.

Caution: Marked rocks and reef patches in the bay, heavy traffic from swimmers, kiters, surfers and SUP, and gusty, building afternoon wind.

Glass Beach (Corralejo)

Glass Beach (El Burro) is an advanced wave spot in the Corralejo dunes where the peak breaks over reef with waves up to around 2–3 m. The NE trade is the workhorse, but a shift to N–NW brings side-offshore wave-riding conditions; wind riders usually go out after midday once the surfers thin out. It is quieter than Kite Beach and has no facilities on site.

Wind: 18–30 kn · NE, N — Sports: windsurf, kite, wing, surf — Level: advanced

Caution: Reef under the peak, loose rock and a shorebreak, with gusty wind and no rescue service; give way to surfers.

Punta Elena / Rocky Point

Punta Elena (Rocky Point) near Corralejo is primarily a surf reef over volcanic rock with sand patches and several peaks, best with a W/NW offshore. It works only as a secondary wind spot for freeride and wing riders in the N–NE trade, and the wind-sailing detail is partly unconfirmed as most sources are surf-focused. The reef sits shallow at low water, so entry and exit demand care.

Wind: 15–25 kn · NE, N — Sports: surf, windsurf, wing, SUP — Level: advanced

Rules: "Rocky Point Inside" is documented as surf-only; there is no wind zoning elsewhere. Respect surf priority and localism.

Caution: Shallow volcanic reef and rocks, especially at low water, a crowded local home break when it works, and no rescue service.

Isla de Lobos

The islet of Lobos, 2 km off Corralejo, holds Europe's longest right-hand point break: up to 400 m of reef wave with tube sections at the foot of the Caldera volcano. Strictly a spot for experts — wave season runs roughly October to March on NW swell, with N–NE winds blowing side-offshore along the point. The islet is a nature reserve with limited daily access; most riders cross by water taxi or boat from Corralejo. The Line Up webcam in Corralejo looks across the channel at the island and its surf zone (best view from September to April).

Wind: 12–25 kn · N, NE — Sports: surf, windsurf — Level: expert

Rules: Lobos is a protected nature reserve: free visitor permit required (two daily slots, 200 people each), landing only at El Puertito, stay on marked paths. Surf priority and heavy localism in the line-up; no kite launching on the islet.

Caution: Shallow volcanic reef with urchins, long hold-downs and strong current through the channel; remote line-up far from help. Experts only — do not underestimate the crossing.

Majanicho

Majanicho is a fishing hamlet on the north coast whose reef is primarily a surf spot: a fast, hollow right-hand point breaking over a shallow volcanic reef into a sheltered bay. Wind sports are only secondary, coming into play in the windier summer months (May–August) when the stronger NE trades add chop and wind-swell for kite and wing. It is not a beginner or school spot, and there are no facilities in the village.

Wind: 18–30 kn · N, NE — Sports: surf, kite, wing, SUP — Level: advanced

Rules: No kite or wind zoning is documented; it is a surf reef with surf priority. Respect the village.

Caution: Shallow volcanic reef with hard landings at low water, rocks, current and rip (strong at El Pueblo), a reef walk, sea urchins, localism and no rescue service.

Punta Blanca

A genuine advanced wave and jumping spot on the north coast, with a fairly constant, less gusty NE/N trade that sweeps cross-onshore (starboard tack) across open lava fields. It is a wave spot over sharp lava reef with no shallow water — a right-hander that can reach mast-high. Advanced to expert only.

Wind: 15–30 kn · N, NE — Sports: windsurf, surf — Level: advanced

Caution: Sharp lava reef that cuts, sea urchins and current. The wind has an offshore/cross-shore component and the spot is remote, with no services or rescue.

Puerto Lajas

One of the few east-coast spots, Puerto Lajas works on both N and S winds. N–NE is best — side-onshore for bump & jump — while a south point/reef fires on S–SE. The bay holds a reef (a left and a right) sheltered enough for chop and small waves, making it a genuine multisport spot.

Wind: 15–25 kn · NE, N — Sports: windsurf, kite, surf, SUP, wing — Level: advanced — On site: food

Rules: No formal zones, but in practice time-shared — surf in the morning, kite and windsurf in the afternoon. Some sources mention a possible local club permit for kiting (unconfirmed — check locally).

Caution: Reef and rocks at the entry/exit and in the line-up, a shared line-up (surfers, kiters and windsurfers) with collision risk, and some localism.
