Glass Beach (Corralejo) — North Fuerteventura
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.
