More about Los Lobos surfspot

World-class righthand point that peels for up to 400m down side of small uninhabited island next to Correlejo. Very sectioney when small but a big N swell will line up 3 great tube sections and long rides.

General: The lunar landscape of the diminutive island of Los Lobos sits anchored over a mile off the northeastern corner of Fuerteventura, its dormant volcano towering over the crystal blue ocean. When the big swells arrive and light up the north shore of Fuerte, whitewater is visible from the western side of the island where the shallow fringes are transformed into a huge, reeling pointbreak.</br></br>This special break can only be accessed by ferry or private boat, but the short crossing reveals a wave that only increases in quality the bigger the swell gets. At 4- to 6-foot there are a number of distinct sections, but when the swell tops this, the jagged lava reef is transformed into one long, rifling break. The entry and exit can be tricky as urchins carpet the bottom. Crowds occur at peak times. Tides: All Size: Chest-2x overhead Wind: ESE Swell: N, NW Bottom: Lava reef Paddling: Strong paddlers only. Spot Rating: Access by boat. Great wave but expect a crowd.

Intermediate

3 ferries go every morning around 10am and return at 1630. 20min walk to the break from port. Jetskis take surfers over but it's expensive.

A boat to the island, then a scramble over lava reef.

Fall-Spring

Crowd Factor: Large local crew. Local Vibe: Competitive but tolerant.

Always crowded because it is a low to medium consistency spot making the locals a little more ruthless when it fires. Various ferries leave mid morning and last return is around 16.30. Permits required to camp overnight. Take all necessary supplies. 20 min hike from ferry port.

Nice Caribbean-like water.

Ultra sharp reef.
