Punta Mujeres (Lanzarote, Canary Islands) is a rocky reef surf spot on the northeast coast of Lanzarote, known more for powerful, technical waves than for easy beachbreak surfing.

Quick description

Wave type: Reef / point-like sections over volcanic rock
Best for: Intermediate to advanced surfers
Typical conditions: Can get fast, hollow, and punchy when the swell lines up
Wind exposure: Northeast trades can affect quality, so it often needs favorable wind direction
Hazards: Sharp reef, shallow sections, strong currents, and limited forgiveness on takeoff

What it’s like

Punta Mujeres has the classic Lanzarote feel: black volcanic coastline, clear water, and raw Atlantic energy. When it’s working, the wave can offer clean, peeling walls with some critical sections, making it a rewarding spot for experienced surfers. Because of the reef setup, timing and positioning matter a lot.

Best conditions

Swell: Moderate to solid northwest/north swells
Wind: Light offshore or calm conditions are ideal
Tide: Often tide-dependent, with some sections working better at mid tide

Good to know

Best suited to surfers comfortable in reef environments
Booties can be a good idea due to the rocky entry and reef
Local knowledge is helpful for entry/exit points and reading the wave
