Rocky Point - Punta Helena
Right hand reef break.
One of the island's most popular breaks. When the other breaks start to close out it can get a bit crowded.

El Muelle - Harbour Wall
Left hand reef that wraps around for a long fast ride, occassionally barrelling but beware - at certain times the barrel section is very powerful and shallow.

Bristol - Shooting Gallery
Left hand reef.
Fast and hollow.intense at low - a little more forgiving at high. Very popular local spot with a small take-off area so either come early or mind your manners.

Generosa
Left hand reef with a long wall - not too intense unless it's huge. At high tide there are occassional fun, fast rights to be had - Kick out before you hit the rocks.

Suicides
A fickle and seldom surfed reef breaking in shallow water. Well named as mistakes can be costly. It's to the right of Mejillonas.

Mejillonas - Mechihonas
Big wave spot with shifting peaks and heavy hold downs. Picks up more swell than most of the north and only shows its true colours on a decent swell.

Majanicho
At the end of the road from Lajares lies the small fishing village of Majanicho. To the right of the village lies a long righthander. Best at low to mid tide. Easier at high tide.
Also popular with windsurfers when the wind is up.

El Hierro
Divided into 3 wave spots :

1. El Hierro Derecha - The Bubble
Possibly the most well known and photographed of Fuerteventura's waves.
An intense hollow right hander with excellent right hand barrels and short intense lefts. Powerful and shallow. A true board snapper.

2. El Hierro Izquierda - Hierro
A long powerful left with two peaks helpful in spreading the crowds. On the right swell and wind one of the finest fun waves to be had. Breaks in reasonably deep water. Good at all tides.

3. Derecha de Aleman - German Rights
So called because of the popularity of the german surf schools. another long right breaking in two spots which occassionally link up to give a long fast ride - excellent at low to mid tides - similar to Majanicho.
