Majanicho / Fuerteventura kitesurf, wingfoil and surf spot
Spain · Canarias
Overview
Majanicho is a must-visit wave spot on the northwest coast of Fuerteventura, working for most of the year. Located near a small, authentic fishing village, it offers right-hand waves that are often well-shaped and consistent.
The waves at Majanicho are frequently straight, making them very surfable. The best wind direction is easterly to northeast — the prevailing trade wind creates clean side-offshore conditions that groom the wave faces.
This is a spot for intermediate to advanced wave riders. The setting is wild and beautiful, with a rugged volcanic coastline and crystal-clear water.
