Puerto de Güimar

Puerto de Güimar is a protected bay on the eastern coast of Tenerife, Canary Islands, characterized by moderate fetch and natural breakwater protection. The spot features a northeast-facing shoreline with established harbor infrastructure, including breakwaters, commercial docks, and mooring areas visible in the satellite imagery. The bay provides relatively sheltered conditions compared to exposed ocean breaks, with light to moderate swell penetration typical of lee-side locations. Wind reliability is moderate at 32.1% with average winds around 10 knots. Best conditions occur with northwesterly winds (315°) providing side-shore flow. The spot suits beginners to early intermediates due to protected waters and manageable wave heights averaging under 1 meter. Water temperature around 22°C is comfortable year-round. Primary considerations include navigating around harbor traffic, maintaining distance from commercial vessels, avoiding shallow areas near the shore, and staying clear of breakwater structures. The consistent thermal wind patterns and sheltered bay setup make this suitable for progression, though the low average wind speed and modest wave height limit it for advanced riders seeking challenging conditions.
