El Tiburon - Playa Honda

📍 Local Knowledge

El Tiburon - Playa Honda (Lanzarote) is a sheltered beach break featuring left-hand beach peaks alongside a separate left-hand point break that delivers inconsistent surf, with the summer months in particular tending to be flat. The spot relies primarily on windswells over groundswells, reaching peak performance when an east northeast wave direction aligns with offshore winds blowing from the northwest. Because the location offers no natural shelter from cross-shore breezes, it remains highly sensitive to wind shifts. When a quality session does line up, the break can sometimes get crowded, requiring extra caution to avoid the hazardous local rocks.
