Spot de Mosca Point

Mosca Point kitesurf, wingfoil and windsurf spot

Spain · Canarias

27.83 | -15.42

Overview

Mosca Point is a wave riding spot south of Pozo Izquierdo. The left-hand wave with side-offshore NE wind is only worthwhile when it's big (usually winter N/NE swell). Most riders sail here from Pozo rather than entering from shore.

The shore is shallow and rocky — extremely dangerous if you ride the wave too close. Experienced wave riders only.
