Puerto Lajas — North Fuerteventura
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.
