Los Gigantes Surf Report & Forecast

Local Knowledge

Los Gigantes (Tenerife) is an exposed beach break featuring both left and right-hand peaks that delivers very consistent surf, though summer tends to be mostly flat. The spot is equally receptive to groundswells and windswells, reaching peak performance when a northwest swell angle aligns with offshore winds blowing from the east-southeast. The break benefits from some physical shelter from east-northeast winds, and the wave face can remain highly playable even during light onshore windows. While it offers dependable setups through the cooler months, 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. When conditions line up, it can sometimes get crowded, requiring surfers to keep a close eye on the lineup alongside the primary localized hazard of shallow rocks.
