Surfing the Lloret wave

An urban wave with a great atmosphere close to Las Canteras beach.

Located in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria city on the north east coast of Gran Canaria, Lloret is connected to the beach by a promenade. The wave, popular with locals, is easy to access and is in an area used for outdoor sports, SUP and bodyboarding, giving it a sporty atmosphere. There’s plenty of nearby parking, a shopping centre and lots of restaurants.

One of the best right-breaking waves in Gran Canaria

Lloret breaks over a volcanic rock bottom and is regarded as one of Gran Canaria’s best right breaks. Of medium length with a large face divided into sections it can also break left in the right conditions. The best conditions for Lloret are at between October and May, at low tide with S-SE-SW-E winds and N-NE-NW-W swell. Access to the water is via a small pebbly cove between the rocks but wait for the set to end before jumping in on big days as the current pushes you towards the breakwater.

Sustainability

Never leave waste of any type lying around, including cigarette butts. Leftover food leads to a proliferation of rats and wild cats, which pose a serious threat to the fauna.
Do not throw any waste or other objects into the sea.
Respect the animals. Do not bother them or feed them. If you see an injured specimen, you can call the emergency number: 112. Do not pick flowers or plants.
Do not pick up or take away stones or any other item from the natural environment. And do not move them to pile them up into sadly famous 'towers'.
Try to use ocean- friendly sun creams.
