Santa Cruz de Tenerife

Santa Cruz de Tenerife is an N-facing beach break in Playa de Benijo, Canary Islands, Spain. It picks up swell from NNE to ENE and WSW to W and W to NNW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 34% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the S: light winds or S breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while N onshores chop it up.
