About the beach

Playa de Las Américas

The school beach of the south of the island, with warm water and waves almost all year. Near the sand there are lefts to learn on; further out are lava reefs, like La Izquierda, with shallow sharp rock and a crowded line-up. Works on all tides.

Surfing Playa de Las Américas

Playa de Las Américas is a surf beach in Tenerife, España, with 1 surf school.

What level is Playa de Las Américas for?

Playa de Las Américas 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 Playa de Las Américas?

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

When does Playa de Las Américas work best?

Playa de Las Américas 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 SW-W. The beach faces West.
