Our Location
Canary Islands - Fuerteventura
FreshSurf is located on Fuerteventura
Our surf school and surf camp are located on the north-west coast of the island of Fuerteventura. Besides sand dunes, volcanoes and steep cliffs the island offers one thing above all: beautiful beaches.
The climate
On Fuerteventura there are around 3000 hours of sunshine per year. That means an average of 8 hours of pure sunshine a day. There is a consistent climate all year long which led to the maxim “Islands of the everlasting spring!”
El Cotillo and its surroundings
El Cotillo
The northern part of the island around Corralejo, facing Lanzarote, is the main-area for surfing with its long beaches and reef breaks on the East coast and West coast. Our small fishing-village offers everything for a relaxing time: a supermarket (open until 9pm), shops, restaurants, bars, a small harbour, as well as a quiet and cosy atmosphere.
Besides our picturesque beaches El Cotillo stands out as a result of its lunar and desert-like landscapes. Not far away from Cotillo is thetourist Mecca of Corralejo, which has already developed into an oasis for surfers. Here you will find surf shops, bars, restaurants and nightclubs.
Surf spots
Surfer will find amazing surf spots and an incredible environment in between palm trees, desert and the ocean. Fuerteventura offers consistent swells all year round and there are a variety of spots suiting different levels of ability. In general all surf spots are without tourist attractions and are largely visited by surfers only. The waves of the north shore are long, strong and often perfect. Mostly you are looking at reef breaks but there are a few beach breaks which offer perfect conditions for beginners – e.g. El Cotillo, Playa del Esquinzo, Playa del Morro, etc.
The water temperature varies in the range of 18° to 23° Celsius depending whether it is summer or winter time. The average air temperature is around 23° and is still high during winter. We prefer to surf in board shorts in summer and 3/2-Wetsuits in winter, but strictly recommend a wetsuit for our guests for safety reasons and to maintain a comfortable temperature.. Fuerteventura and the other Canary Islands are Europe’s topranked wintersurfdestinations.
