El Burrero kitesurf, wingfoil and windsurf spot
Spain · Canarias
Overview
El Burrero is a wave and freeride spot on the east coast, between Ojos de Garza and Playa de Vargas. The NE wind is slightly lighter than Pozo and more side-shore, making it better for wave surfing down the line.
With SW wind (rare), El Burrero becomes a beginner-friendly flat water spot at low tide. But with NE wind and waves, the shorebreak on stones at high tide makes it challenging. A breakwater wall creates difficult entry/exit conditions.
