Vargas

Vargas is a beach break located on the northeastern coast of Gran Canaria, Spain, facing northeast into the Atlantic Ocean. The spot features a mix of sandy beach and rocky sections with consistent Atlantic swell exposure. Water conditions show rough chop typical of exposed coastal breaks, with average waves around 1 meter and moderate wind reliability at 62%. The coastline orientation toward the northeast means side-shore conditions occur with northwesterly (315°) or southeasterly (135°) winds. Northwesterly winds align better with prevailing Atlantic patterns and provide cleaner offshore conditions. Water temperatures averaging 21.4°C require minimal winter protection. The spot suits intermediate kiters comfortable with reef awareness and variable bottom contours. Rocky outcrops require careful entry and exit point selection. Wind averaging 13.8 knots provides adequate power but can be gusty near coastal terrain. Best sessions occur during autumn and winter when Atlantic swells and northwesterly winds align. Limited nearby amenities suggest self-sufficiency is necessary.
