Los Lobos
Los Lobos is the longest wave in the Canary Islands, a right-hand point break on the small island of the same name that can offer rides of 500 meters or more when conditions align. The wave breaks over volcanic reef, requiring a boat ride from Corralejo to access. When big N-NW swells arrive, Los Lobos transforms into a world-class wave.
