Moro

El Moro (Playa del Moro) is a sandy beach break in the Corralejo dunes area that offers both left- and right-hand waves. Sources describe the lineup as suitable for learning and progression, with generally forgiving sand bottoms, but with important technical hazards where rocks/lava can come into play. For surfing, wave quality is described as good to moderate, with peeling, fast sections that make turns work well. Working swell is reported to start around 1.0 to 1.5 m, and the wave can hold up to roughly the 2.5 m range (while very large conditions may close out). Typical rides are described as about 50 to 150 m, depending on sandbar configuration. Wind conditions are trade-wind driven and typically within the 15–25 knot range. West wind is repeatedly highlighted as optimal for grooming the surf into cleaner faces, and wind is described as generally regular/high reliability depending on source. Best surf wind/swell direction relationships are reported with West or Southwest wind and SouthWest swell being favorable. Safety and access require extra attention: rocks become visible or more exposed at low tide, and the lava-slab end of the beach may be underwater depending on tide. There are also reports of rip currents/rough sea and strong sun exposure. Lifeguards are reported as seasonal, with emergency access via 112; plan on bringing appropriate protection (including footwear at minimum) and checking tide before getting in.
