Hello Surf Enthusiasts!
Today I want to answer the absolutely legitimate question: Is Fuerteventura also suitable for beginners to surf?
Of course, when you see pictures of surfing in Fuerteventura, you will almost always notice the unnatural blue of the water, the endless beaches and the warm sun. Laughing faces of tanned people.
Most surfers in the pictures are pretty good at surfing and the waves look impressive - big, strong, often breaking as a tube.
Fuerteventura has the reputation of being the Hawaii of Europe. Stop, are not the highest waves in the world breaking in Hawaii?
After the first fascination, the legitimate question arises for one or the other observer: Are not the waves in Fuerteventura perhaps to strong for me? Is it possible to learn surfing on the beaches of Fuerteventura as a normal beginner?
Thanks to the diversity of the beach Fuerteventura is ideal for surfing for beginners
Of course, Fuerteventura has many beaches and especially reefs where surfing looks like the pictures in TV and magazines - impressive and dangerous.
But there are also several beaches where moderate, flatter and rounder waves, waves with less force and small clean waves break. In short, there are many beaches where you can have waves that are ideal for learning and practicing surfing as a beginner.
This is mainly due to the geography of Fuerteventura. The island is comparatively flat so there are beaches on every coast. These beaches have different sized waves, depending on which direction they face. There are beaches that absorb every wave from the open Atlantic. Other beaches are sheltered bays where there are only small waves.

Unfortunately this is not easy to answer. Like the weather, the waves change every day. If it rains one day at home, that does not mean that the rest of the year is to be expected there.
