Jandia Playa

Jandia Playa is a beach break located on the southern coast of Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands, Spain. The spot features a northeast-facing shoreline backed by significant resort development and natural coastal dunes. The beach comprises light sand with rocky/reef intrusions visible in the shallow waters, creating variable bottom conditions. Wind patterns favor northwesterly flows for side-shore conditions, though reliability remains modest at 33.5% annually. Water temperatures average 20.6°C year-round. Wave heights typically remain modest at 1.24m average, suitable for progression rather than large swell sessions. The spot works best during summer months when trade winds are consistent. Intermediate riders will find manageable wave conditions and adequate wind windows. Key considerations include navigating the developed tourist infrastructure, understanding shallow water hazards near shore, and respecting the narrow beach access points. Local knowledge of tidal variations affecting launch zones is recommended. The spot offers accessible conditions for developing skills without extreme exposure or hazardous currents.
