A left that breaks off the end of a boat ramp and harbour wall on the north side of Corralejo town. It has an outside section ridden mostly by longboarders and a faster inside for shortboards, and the two link on a good north or northwest swell. It is the easiest wave to reach from town.

Local tips

Look for the small loading ramp off the seafront north of the restaurants. A shallower left next to it works on small swells but is very close to the reef.

Getting there

Walk north along the Corralejo seafront from the harbour restaurants; it breaks at the end of the boat ramp near Calle de la Caleta.

Travel notes

How often it works
Reliable in winter on north swells, mostly flat in summer.
Crowd and vibe
Few surfers on weekdays, crowded at weekends.
Camping and vans
Wild camping is not allowed on Fuerteventura; only marked camping zones may be used, and the island council is still drawing up its camping rules. The Canary Government's draft decree would ban tourist overnight stays in vans and campers outside official campsites.
Facilities
Cafés, shops, surf shops and paid parking in Corralejo town, a few minutes' walk away.
Water quality
In the 2025 EU bathing-water results, the old harbour beach of Corralejo (Muelle Viejo) was rated good, as in the years before. Beaches further east were rated excellent.
