Duncan Disorderly said:Planning a trip to Tenerife in January for a bit of mid-winter surfing and sport climbing action (probably a just have couple of surf days, the rest climbing) - pretty much know what's going on re. climbing out there but have no real idea what the surfing is like - from the limited bit I've read there's a lot of reefs, rocks and angry locals - sounds err... Mint.
Thought I'd see if anyone here's been and has any recomendations for a surf punter? CBA to lug a board for just a couple of days but happy to sling a suit and boots in the bag - staying Arico way but will have a car.
Cheers...
I spent two winters in Tenerife on long trips.
Surfing wise, we mainly surfed PDLA . Unless you are half decent, avoid Spanish left, as it's very localised. Instead surf in front on the hotel where all the surf schools are. It's reef but not sharp and doesn't hurt if you hit it. It will be rammed when the schools are in. You can spread out a little bit but depends on your ability.
Saw a few other spots when we explored but lots of graffiti about localism so didn't risk it
