Tenerife

Tenerife is an NNW-facing reef break in Punta del Hidalgo, Canary Islands, Spain. It picks up swell from NNE to ENE and WSW to W and WNW to N, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 32% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the SSE: light winds or SSE breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while NNW onshores chop it up.
