El Lloret

📍 Local Knowledge

El Lloret (Gran Canaria) is a fairly exposed reef break that delivers consistent surf throughout the cooler months, though summer tends to be mostly flat. The spot relies primarily on groundswells over local windswells, reaching peak performance across all stages of the tide when a north-northwest swell angle aligns with offshore winds blowing from the south. While it offers reliable setups from autumn through spring, winter is the premier season overall for clean, rideable waves with light or offshore winds, with the month of December historically offering the most consistent clean windows. Because it is a highly quality setup, the lineup is often crowded, requiring surfers and forecasters to stay highly aware of both overcrowding and the primary physical hazard of shallow rocks.
