About Corralejo
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces N (17°), so it takes swell from the N. The wind blows offshore from the S (197°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 3–10 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 350 m out (1 in 36). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 19°C in January, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 23°C in September, its warmest (2 mm shorty). For intermediate surfers the best months are usually January, April, October and November, with about 1 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Corralejo, 1.6 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 8 surf spots and 2 wind sports spots.
Water about 22°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
