More about La Fitenia surfspot
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.
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.
Some beginners do surf here, but watch out for rocks!
Parking by the break, tricky walkout over sharp rocks.
Best October - March
Crowd Factor: Popular, busy when good Local Vibe: Chilled when small, competitive when good. Follow etiquette.
Gets very crowded as it is inconsistent and often the only wave working in certain conditions. Intermediates up – some localism.
Generally OK; there are reports of sewage discharges here through aging infrastructure.
Rocks on inside, crowds.
