Small southwest spot, left over mixed bottom working with W–SW swell on mid–high tide. Intermediate level, less known.

Tips: Discreet spot between Arguineguín and Puerto Rico. Good when seeking tranquility. Check tides and swell before heading out. Relaxed local atmosphere.

Right-hand wave in the fishing village of Arguineguín, on the southwest coast of Gran Canaria. Breaking over cobblestones, this spot requires W swell to work and is best surfed on low to mid tide. Intermediate to advanced level. The take-off zone sits slightly closer to the football field, with a fast wall that rewards confident turns and committed surfing. When the W swell connects, it can deliver surprisingly long and clean rides along the rocky bottom.

Tips: Low tide is key for this one. W swell is less frequent than S, but can be very good when it hits. On smaller days, ideal for SUP or longboard sessions. Calm fishing-town atmosphere with a Tuesday market worth checking out after your session. Less touristy than Playa del Inglés, with real local character.

Fishing village in the southwest, left over cobblestones that needs S swell to work. Low to mid tide, intermediate–advanced level. Soft but technical wave.

Tips: Works best on low tide. Slightly further toward the cement factory. Authentic fishing village vibe, Tuesday market. Less touristy than Playa del Inglés, more local character.

Small beach in the private marina, sandy left that works with S–SW swell on any tide. Beginner level, quiet and sheltered.

Tips: Access via GC-500, park outside the entrance barrier. No lifeguards or services — more secluded experience. Good for longboarding and small days. Private marina limits development.

Next to the iconic Maspalomas Lighthouse in south Gran Canaria, mixed bottom, picks up W–SW–NW swells on any tide. Lefts and rights, intermediate–advanced level. Consistent when the direction is correct, offering quality walls and good sections for manoeuvres. One of the more reliable options on the south coast when the swell hits the right angle. Winter is when it works best, as stronger W and NW swells reach this corner of the island more frequently.

Tips: Less crowded spot with a touch of localism. Check conditions before heading out. Access from the Maspalomas promenade area. Works when both north and south are flat due to its exposure. Best with light offshore winds early in the morning.

Faro de Maspalomas, mixed bottom with fast and maneuverable waves. Works on all tides with W–SW–NW swell. Lefts and rights, beginner–intermediate–advanced levels.

Tips: Popular among locals and visitors. The dunes create a unique backdrop. Can work when both north and south are flat. Parking in the Maspalomas tourist area.
