About the beach

El Médano

Wide bay in the southeast with steady wind: it is the island's windsurf and kite spot. For surfing it is inconsistent, with sand waves and a left over rock by the harbour wall; there are rocks along part of the beach.

Surfing El Médano

El Médano is a surf beach in Tenerife, España.

What level is El Médano for?

El Médano has no fixed level, and that is the question Surf Booking answers every day: the same sea suits a beginner and does not suit an advanced surfer, or the other way round. On this page the sea at this beach is read hour by hour and by level — beginner, intermediate and advanced — for the next 7 days, and the verdict is this beach's, not the region's.

What is the bottom like at El Médano?

The bottom is mixed sand and rock. It helps to know where the rocks are, especially at low tide.

When does El Médano work best?

El Médano has partial swell exposure: it works on many days but benefits from a bigger swell or a favourable direction. It is usually best with swell from E-SE. The beach faces Southeast.
