Learn to Surf on Lanzarote: 5 Reasons Why This Stunning Island Is Perfect for Beginners

If you’re a beginner wave rider then learning to surf on Lanzarote should be at the top of your list. Here’s why...

So you’ve caught the surfing bug and you want to develop your skills in the water? Great! We love it when people froth out on surfing. Instead of booking a surf school or surf camp in Portugal, Morocco or France though, why not consider learning to surf on Lanzarote?

Long since regarded as a hidden gem when it comes to waves, Lanzarote is now becoming increasingly popular amongst surfers of all levels. This means that there’s never been a better time to book a trip to this striking landmass in the Atlantic Ocean and make a few new friends while learning to surf. All the while getting more in touch with your inner wave riding spirit, of course.

With that in mind, here are 5 reasons why you should learn to surf on Lanzarote today.

1. The unbelievable weather

Mild winters and bearably hot summers, coupled with that cooling Atlantic breeze make Lanzarote an island of incredible weather.

For years mainland Europeans have fled to its shores when the lakes begin to freeze and the snow starts to fall. Looking to escape the cold in favour of the sun, blue skies and temperate waters that this island offers. Don’t just take our word for it though. Learn to surf on Lanzarote and discover for yourself why this archipelago is often called the “Hawaii of Europe”.

2. A fantastic variety of waves

Most surfers can hardly dream of a better destination to hit the waves than Lanzarote. The reason being that it has a fantastic variety of waves for all skill levels.

If you learn to surf on Lanzarote, the beaches of Famara and Orzola will become your preferred hunting grounds. Then, once you’ve mastered the basics, you can easily find another break at which to step up your game. Next stop, Banzai Pipeline.

3. Consistent surf conditions

A wave for more experienced surfers no doubt, but it’s always good to have something to aspire to

One of the benefits of living on a small island such as Lanzarote is that you can almost always find a place to surf. If the wind kicks up at one destination, simply pack the car and drive to another coastline to catch the offshore.

Alternatively, if one beach is maxing out because the swell is too big, there are numerous other breaks that can handle the size. This means it nearly goes without saying that when you learn on Lanzarote, you are pretty much guaranteed consistent waves.

4. Access to quality surf schools and camps

Red Star Surf offers a range of accommodation, surf school and surf camp packages for all skill levels and budgets. With the added bonus that you can learn from highly trained surf instructors who know how to make learning to surf a fun and fulfilling endeavour.  

5. Affordable cost of living

Conscious of your cash flow but want to maximize your surfing experience? Then you’ll be pleased to know that Lanzarote is blessed with an affordable cost of living.

This means you can stretch your budget and still enjoy all that this magnificent destination has to offer. Whether that means more surf lessons, more beachside beers or more of that delicious grilled octopus you’ve heard so much about.

Learn to surf in Lanzarote with the team at Red Star Surf today and make new friends and new memories in the beautiful Canary Islands.
