Los Enanos (Moya)

Los Enanos (Moya) is an exposed beach-and-reef surfing spot on Gran Canaria’s north shore, where waves break over a rocky volcanic seabed. The setup is described as delivering several punchy peaks, with both left and right options available depending on the swell and the line you choose. Conditions are generally workably consistent, but the month-to-month wind cleanliness can vary. For the best month (October), one dataset reports a strong “blown” tendency with only a smaller percentage of “clean” wind, which can affect how groomed the wave face stays. Another provider also describes offshore/southerly winds as tending to give cleaner conditions, while other wind directions can cause the wave to blow out more quickly. Safety is a major focus at this launch because the seabed and entry/exit areas are rocky and can include sea urchins. Currents are also reported—especially when larger northerly swells are running—so you should plan your entry carefully and avoid rushing into the water without checking the access points. Crowds can build when conditions are good, and local competitiveness is noted, so approach with patience and standard etiquette. Overall, the spot is repeatedly framed as best for intermediate-to-advanced surfers. October is the standout month, while summer is commonly described as mostly flat. When sizing up a session, you’ll also want to consider tide timing on the reef, as sources don’t fully agree (low vs mid tide are both cited), and larger swells can make paddling and control more challenging.
