About This Spot
Jameos del Agua is located on Lanzarote's northeast coast facing northeast into the Atlantic Ocean. This open ocean spot features dramatic volcanic geology with rocky outcrops and reef formations protecting the immediate shoreline. The exposed coastal setting generates consistent Atlantic swell patterns, averaging 1.6m waves with rough water conditions typical of island locations. Wind reliability is modest at 30.1%, with average winds of 10.3 knots. Best conditions occur with northwest to north winds (315°-0°), which provide side-shore conditions relative to the northeast-facing coast. The spot suits intermediate riders experienced with rocky terrain and ocean swell management. Limited landing and launching zones exist due to the cliff-backed coastline and volcanic rock formations. Water conditions are rough and variable due to Atlantic exposure. Kiters should assess tide states carefully and be prepared for strong currents indicated by visible water texture patterns. Summer months typically provide more stable wind patterns.
Hazards & Safety
