Mosca Point

📍 Local Knowledge

Mosca Point (Gran Canaria) is a sheltered beach and reef break featuring both left and right beach peaks that delivers quite consistent surf, with autumn and winter being the favored times of year for waves. The spot is equally receptive to windswells and groundswells, reaching peak performance around a low tide window when a north swell direction aligns with offshore winds blowing from the north. While autumn and winter both consistently produce wave setups, winter is the premier season overall for clean, rideable waves with light or offshore winds, with the month of February historically offering the most consistent clean windows. When the break is working, the lineup can become crowded, requiring extra caution regarding a mix of localized hazards that includes shallow rocks, competitive localism, and man-made dangers like buoys in the area.
