Surf spot guide Β· Fuerteventura, Spain
Seldom-breaking fast, hollow right over supershallow uneven reef on Fuerteventura's south coast, reserved for experienced surfers.
Las Salinas is a right-hand reef break that sits dormant for most of the year, waking up only a handful of times when big NW swells push enough energy past the island's north coast to reach this south-facing stretch. When it does fire, the wave is fast and hollow, pitching hard over supershallow uneven reef that demands a committed, precise takeoff. The barrel sections are the defining feature, with the wave ledging up quickly and offering little room for hesitation. At 1.5-3.7m the break shows its full character - controlled, powerful rights peeling 50-100m across shallow rock. The spot sits in a remote stretch of coastline with no lifeguard, facilities or surf school - you are well away from any service town, so self-sufficiency is essential. Free roadside parking is the only access infrastructure. Rips run along the reef and urchins carpet the bottom, compounding the risks on any wipeout. Weekend sessions bring a tight crew of local regulars who know the break intimately and make their presence felt.
Hollow right that wakes only when big NW swells reach Fuerteventura's south coast.

Light to moderate most of the time due to the break's rarity. When a genuine NW swell arrives, the local weekend crew fills the lineup quickly and the vibe turns territorial.
