La Santa

La Santa is a protected lagoon spot located on the western coast of Lanzarote in the Canary Islands, Spain. The lagoon is separated from the open Atlantic Ocean by a natural barrier and connected via a channel with a constructed breakwater. The spot features a large shallow water body ideal for learning, with clear water and sand bottom in most areas. A developed resort complex occupies the eastern shore with multiple pools and facilities. The lagoon setup provides protected conditions compared to open ocean exposure, making it suitable for beginners and intermediate riders. Best conditions occur with northerly winds (0° true north) which blow side-shore across the lagoon entrance. Wind reliability is moderate at 34.7%, typical for the Canaries' seasonal patterns. Average wave heights of 1.89m indicate small, manageable conditions. The spot's main limitation is its enclosed nature—fetch is restricted, and wave development is minimal. Infrastructure density and boat traffic in the channel require awareness. Ideal for progression riders seeking controlled conditions rather than challenging waves.
