The volcanic peak of Mount Teide dominates Tenerife, the largest island amongst the Canaries. The north has a rocky coastline and lush vegetation. Totally different, the south has a better sunshine record and a strangely endearing lunar landscape with volcanic sandy beaches. The only major windsurf venue is El Medano 15 minutes from the airport. The small town is situated on sandy bays with conditions for intermediate to advanced windsurfers. There is plenty to do in Tenerife, suiting couples, families or groups of friends. The restaurants have an excellent reputation with locals and visitors alike, catering for all palettes and reflecting the town's truly cosmopolitan nature. The nightlife runs at a much gentler pace than at Playas des Americas, which is approximately 30 minutes away by road.

Sailing Spot & Conditions

El Médano is a warm year-round location with clean consistent planing winds; three sailing areas offering diverse conditions. There are two sailing venues: South Bay is ideal for intermediates and above and the challenging North Bay with world class conditions for experts. The North East trade winds are deflected by Teide's crater wall and accelerated by strong thermal currents. This, combined with the Atlantic rollers, provide wave sailing at its best.
