About La laja de Tecoron
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces SW (222°), so it takes swell from the SW. The wind blows offshore from the NE (42°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up, because of a steep sea floor. It works in 5–20 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very steeply: 10 m deep about 50 m out (1 in 1). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hard and thick, like a slab. The sea is about 20°C in February, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 24°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is El Pinar de El Hierro, 6.1 km away (about 15 min by car).
Water about 23°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
