Los Lobos surf guide

Los Lobos is a small, uninhabited island off the northeastern coast of Fuerteventura, known for its stunning lunar landscape and clear blue waters. The island is about a mile from the mainland, and getting there usually involves taking a ferry or a private boat. It’s a unique spot where you can find some good waves, especially when the north swells hit. The atmosphere can be a bit competitive as it’s a popular destination for surfers, so be ready for some crowds.

The surf here is primarily a right-hand point break that can really light up when the swell is in the 4 to 8-foot range (about 1.2 to 2.4 meters). On bigger days, the wave peels for up to 400 meters down the reef, offering some great tube sections. It tends to be quite sectiony when it’s small, but as the swell picks up, you'll find long, rifling rides. The entry and exit can be tricky due to sharp urchins on the bottom, so make sure you know what you're doing. This spot works best with north or northeast swells, while the ideal wind is from the east. The best tides to catch waves here range from low to high, and due to the uneven reef, it’s a place for expert surfers. Shortboards or guns are the way to go if you want to tackle the waves.

Accessing Los Lobos will take some planning; ferries run in the morning and you’ll have a 20-minute walk to get to the break from the port. It’s worth noting that if you’re considering camping, you’ll need a permit. The water is nice, almost Caribbean-like, but be careful of the sharp reef. Being a low to medium consistency spot means you can expect a good number of local surfers out here, especially when the waves are firing.
