Caleta de Famara surf guide

Caleta de Famara is a surf spot located in Lanzarote, known for its unique and raw surfing experience. The spot is also referred to as Molle by some locals. It's not the most consistent break out there, but when it's working, it can pull in some solid waves. Be prepared for a different vibe, as things can get busy with surfers keen to catch the good sets.

The waves here are primarily lefts that break over an uneven reef. It can handle swell sizes around 4ft (1.2m) and is best with a west or northwest swell. For optimal conditions, you want the wind coming from the south and aim for mid to high tide for better results. It's important to note that this spot is geared towards expert surfers due to its dredgy nature and potential for intensity.

While the surf can be fun, be aware that the crowd can be aggressive, and sharing waves might not be on the locals' agenda. If you’re looking for a more relaxed atmosphere, it might be worth considering other spots, especially when Caleta de Famara is crowded. Make sure to check the conditions before heading out, and know that it's not recommended to surf here below mid-tide due to the hazards it poses.
