Santa Cruz de La Palma

Santa Cruz de La Palma is an E-facing beach break in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain. It picks up swell from NNE to NE and NE to E and SSE to S, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 60% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the W: light winds or W breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while E onshores chop it up.
