Sailing Spot and Conditions
At Costa Teguise a protected bay makes the place secure and ideal for beginners and trainings for advanced surfers. Outside the bay there is flat water and a reef delivering rolling swells from 0.5-3m. With plenty of space to exit safely this is an ideal for improving jumping and wave riding, where wavefreaks and freeriders will have a lot of fun. The conditions are varied which is why the PWA hold a World Cup freestyle event here for many years now. The steady trade winds blow side/side off shore from the left and are most consistent during the summer (April-September), blowing regularly from 4-6 Bft (11-27 knots). During the winter the wind is more changeable and can vary in speed depending on the weather patterns. The swell comes in at this time and transforms the various spots around the island, ideal for surfing and wave riding.


Culture and Activities
Lanzarote is a volcanic island full of amazing, lunar-type landscapes and strange rock formations. Protected by UNESCO, it is a World Biosphere Reserve for its careful tourist development whilst conserving the islands natural environment. Multi-talented artist Cesar Manrique was an influencing architect and his work can be seen all over the island with whitewashed houses with green shutters, where many artists have settled for the unique light. It is worth a trip to visit the Fire mountains, the wine area of La Geria or beautiful sand beach of Famara. Costa Teguise itself is a fully developed but not overly large holiday resort. In addition to windsurfing, there are many other activities on offer including surfing, mountain biking, cycling with tours and excursions on offer plus trekking, golf and parasailing.
