Los Lobos

Los Lobos is a lagoon-style kitesurfing spot located off the northwest coast of Gran Canaria, Spain. The site features a sheltered shallow-water lagoon separated from the open ocean by a sandy barrier beach. The lagoon's protected waters and gradual depth make it accessible for beginners and light-wind sessions. The narrow channel connecting the lagoon to open water creates distinct wind patterns and current dynamics. With average winds of 10.2 knots and only 30.2% wind reliability, sessions are weather-dependent and suit riders seeking mellow, forgiving conditions rather than powered riding. The shallow, choppy water with 0.85m average waves indicates typical Atlantic swell penetration. The spot works best with side-shore winds from the northeast, which parallel the northwest-facing coastline. Kiters should be aware of the limited space, shallow banks that restrict freedom of movement, and variable wind channeling through the lagoon entrance. Best suited for practice, progression, and light-wind training rather than advanced riding.
