Whatever level of surfing you are currently at there is something to offer you a good time at Lanzarote.

Surfing Lessons in Lanzarote

Lanzarote is found to the north of Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands - the Hawaii of Europe! The surf, swell, weather and location are almost identical to that of Fuerteventura and even the waves are similar. It can get big, powerful waves firing off its reefs throughout October to March, but is consistent enough throughout the rest of the year to score good waves whenever you visit. The Island picks up swells on its North, East and West coasts.

A description of Famara Beach by Cameron Clark who has been on a surfing holiday in Lanzarote:

That beautiful golden sand that stretches and curves into the distance - further than you can see and about as far as you'd want to jog. Those absolutely incredible cliffs that come into view as your drive down the windy road and get bigger, and bigger and oh my goodness they are unreal!

You walk down through the dunes with those awesome trade winds that have come all the way from north africa blowing at your face and make you forget its actually 27 degrees. You look down and your wet suit and think sod it, on goes the board shorts and rashy you stole from your room mate, grab the surfboard and in you run. Of course you're expecting to feel the icy english-coast-like waters but instead its around 23 degrees of perfection. You sit on your baord out the back waiting for another set of waves that look like they were hand carved by Poseidon himself for wannabees like me to be able to pop up on and ride all the way to the beach. Of course I fall in more times than I make it to the beach but I don't care. I always land up with a huge grin on my face. I just keep paddling back out and trying to get on the next one. Sometimes stopping to look at the kite surfers at the far end of the beach or imagine base jumping off those magical cliffs before grabbing the next set. I do that until there's nothing left in the arms, lungs and legs, collapse on my towel and go to my happy place. Surfing in Lanzarote has to be up there in the best places to surf in europe. It is fun, easy and unforgettable.
