Buenavista del Norte

Buenavista del Norte is an NNW-facing reef break in Canary Islands, Spain. It picks up swell from N to NNE and NNE to ENE and WNW to N, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 36% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the SSE: light winds or SSE breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while NNW onshores chop it up.
