El Confital

El Confital is an NW-facing reef break in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain. It picks up swell from NW to NNW and N to ENE, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 56% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the SE: light winds or SE breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while NW onshores chop it up.
