El Lloret (Los Giles - East)

El Lloret is a right-hand reef break on the Los Giles Coast with a rocky/boulder-strewn bottom and a small, pebbly entry. Multiple sources describe it as fairly exposed, and it is known for long, peeling waves that can run up to around 150 meters in reported conditions (and up to roughly 150–300 meters on the best days when the wave holds well). The wave is typically reef/point-like in character, and performance improves with the right swell angle and wind setup. For surf timing, conditions are repeatedly linked to the autumn through spring window (often October to May). South to southwesterly winds are described as offshore or best for surf quality, while north-to-northwest swell angles are highlighted as the more favorable swell direction. Tide guidance is also consistent: low to medium or low to mid tide is described as the cleanest/most workable window for this reef break. Safety is a major consideration. The spot hazards include rocks, slippery entry/exit points, sea urchins, and reports of crowds. Strong rip currents are possible, especially as swell size increases. Localism vibes are mentioned, so the safest approach is to observe where experienced surfers enter/exit and to respect the lineup. Booties/foot protection are strongly recommended due to the rocky, slippery access. Facilities and logistics are helped by the spot’s urban setting around Las Palmas (near the Las Canteras promenade area). The broader area is served by the city bus network, and there are numerous dining options nearby. Emergency coverage in the region is available, with municipal lifeguards/Red Cross support described for key beaches; one source lists Hospital Universitario de Gran Canaria Doctor Negrín as a nearby hospital option for emergencies.
