Playa de Los Cristianos

Playa de Los Cristianos is a WSW-facing beach break in Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain. It picks up swell from S to WSW and W and NW to NNW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 56% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the ENE: light winds or ENE breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while WSW onshores chop it up.
