Today's score by level (at the day's best, out of 100)
Considered the surf capital of Tenerife. A hyper-touristy zone with several spots packed into a few hundred metres, offering waves suited to everything from intermediate to expert level.
Peak season October to March. Reliable trade winds, warm water all year, consistent swells.
Good level required. You can stand, paddle and read a peak. When it fires, better know what you're doing.
Direct access from the beach, but mind the rocky bottom. Wetsuit + booties recommended, do not surf at low tide.
Wear an appropriate wetsuit. Scout the currents before you paddle out. Respect the locals and right-of-way. Check weather and tides.
At Las Americas, tide isn't a deciding factor: the spot stays surfable across most tide states. Focus on the swell and the wind instead.
Las Americas is rather recommended for intermediate surfers. If you're a beginner, prefer a surf school, a small swell and a suitable tide, or look for a more sheltered nearby spot.
The ideal wind at Las Americas comes broadly from West: it's offshore, which helps shape and hold the waves. A strong onshore wind generally degrades conditions.
Around Las Americas, you can also check conditions at El Socorro, Martiánez, El Frontón. Compare the scores, wind and swell direction before choosing where to surf.
