Risco del Paso

Risco del Paso is a beach break located on the northeastern coast of Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands, Spain. The spot features a wide sandy beach with gentle sloping bathymetry, backed by arid desert terrain typical of the region. The coastline orientation toward the northeast-facing Atlantic provides natural wave exposure while maintaining relatively protected conditions. With average wind speeds of 10.1 knots and modest wave heights around 1.4 meters, this spot suits beginners and intermediate kiters. Northwesterly winds (315°) provide optimal side-shore conditions for safe, controlled sessions. The wide beach and shallow approach make it accessible for learning and progression. However, wind reliability is moderate at 33.5%, requiring flexible scheduling. Kiters should monitor tidal changes affecting water depth and be aware of the narrow development zone near the beach. The spot's consistent thermal and trade wind patterns make it suitable for progression-focused riders seeking manageable conditions away from heavy Atlantic exposure.
