Playa Melenara

Playa Melenara is an ESE-facing beach break in Taliarte, Canary Islands, Spain. It picks up swell from N to NE, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 74% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the WNW: light winds or WNW breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while ESE onshores chop it up.
