Surf: Popular peak with range of moods from small cutback shoulders to big bowls and racy walls. Needs any S swell to work and the rights are usually better. Environment: Gets very crowded as it is inconsistent and often the only wave working in certain conditions. Intermediates up – some localism. Surf: General: To the south of the main Las Americas breaks, as the coastline turns the corner, there is a flat section of reef called La Fitenia. Home to some fun waves when small, it needs swell from more of a southerly direction to work. Usually pretty mellow, there are a couple of lefts and rights and a surf school operates here. However, it will turn on in the right conditions when a big peak appears, producing long, wrapping right and lefthand walls that will pull in the crowds. Tides: Works on all tides. Size: Waist high to overhead. Wind: NE, N Swell: SW, S Bottom: Rocky reef Paddling: Easy paddle out. Spot Rating: Fun spot with mellow walls, gets good when main peak wakes producing quality lefts and rights. Access: Parking by the break, tricky walkout over sharp rocks. Crowds: Crowd Factor: Popular, busy when good Local Vibe: Chilled when small, competitive when good. Follow etiquette. Environment: Generally OK; there are reports of sewage discharges here through aging infrastructure. Hazards: Rocks on inside, crowds. Season: Best October - March
