Glass Beach

World / Europa / Spanien / Kanarische Inseln / Fuerteventura

Famous point break for waveriding with cross to cross-off shore winds from the left.

Glass beach is a typical summerspot, working from april till september when the trade winds are northerly enough to pass on the west side of Lanzarote, combined with summerswell from the north east. Due to it´s reef pulling the swell in, Glass beach has the biggest waves on the east coast, up to mast high on the biggest days. The wave is not very long but still pretty clean and ends in the bay downwind. The bay has flat water and a sandy beach with easy access for every level of sailing.
The wave rolls out onto a vulcanic reef and the rip takes you towards the bay but if you get nailed too much upwind you end up on the reef.
With less wind it is also a good surfing spot and with small waves it is also a kiting spot.
