Acid Drop

Acid Drop (Majanicho) is a small, exposed reef break over rock with a shallow, rocky bottom and a fast, powerful character. It is described as a right and left breaking wave and can hold size well, working from roughly chest-high to double-overhead. When it connects, rides are typically normal length (about 50 to 150 meters), depending on the swell and how the wave links up. The spot is most consistently in the winter surf season, with sources pointing to working swell from the NorthWest/West direction and best conditions when winds are from the south through Southeast/East. Wind is described as frontal in one dataset, with a medium reliability overall; the spot guidance emphasizes south/SouthEast winds as cleaner/offshore, while north winds can blow it out. Safety-wise, this is an advanced-only surf location. The combination of sharp rocks, shallow reef, and reported strong currents/rip tides makes it hazardous even when waves look manageable. Guidance highlights that it’s best on a rising mid-tide to avoid the shallowest rocks, and that access involves a short rocky walk after reaching a dirt-road area—careful timing between sets and respecting priority/local behavior are emphasized. For planning, the baseline access is via the Majanicho side along the shoreline track toward Machanicho Reef (not the standard north shore track), with parking available near the headland/along unpaved areas. No rescue or lifeguard presence is reported for the spot itself; the nearest medical facilities are indicated as being in Corralejo or Puerto del Rosario.
