La Santa Right
La Santa Right is Lanzarote's training ground—a quality right-hand reef break directly in front of the famous Club La Santa sports resort that provides consistent waves for athletes staying at the facility and visiting surfers alike. The volcanic reef creates predictable shape that works best at mid-tide, while the north-facing orientation catches the same winter swells that light up the entire island. Trade winds typically pick up after 10am, so dawn patrol is essential. The sharp lava reef and sea urchins add consequence to every session, but the wave rewards those who come prepared.
