Spot de La Santa Lagoon

La Santa Lagoon kitesurf, wingfoil and windsurf spot

Spain · Canarias

29.12 | -13.65

Overview

La Santa Lagoon is a unique flat water spot on the northwest coast of Lanzarote, near the village of La Santa and the famous Club La Santa sports resort.

The lagoon is formed by a natural rock barrier creating a sheltered pool connected to the ocean by a channel. When conditions align, it offers flat to slightly choppy water protected from the ocean swell — ideal for freestyle and flat water riding.

The spot is tide-dependent and works best at higher water levels. The channel connecting to the ocean can have strong currents.
