Arguineguin is a surf spot located on the southern coast of Gran Canaria. It's known for its various breaks that can handle different swell sizes, especially when the famous big west swells hit the island. When other spots are blown out, Arguineguin might have some fun waves waiting for you. The vibe here is pretty laid-back, and you’ll notice a bit of a gypsy feel, especially around the free camping area nearby.

This spot works best with swells coming from the southwest and can handle sizes from about 1 meter (3 ft) and up. There are a few waves to catch here, including La Derecha Misteriosa, which is a right-breaking wave that usually works at high tide off the north end of the bay near the marina. If you head south of town, you can find a boulder right in front of the football pitch, plus a left wave towards the cement factory that’s good during low to mid tide. Overall, the waves at Arguineguin are long and offer a chance to practice maneuvers, making it suitable for surfers of all levels, especially beginners.

Keep in mind that Arguineguin can get crowded, particularly when conditions are favorable. The free camping nearby can lead to some litter near the water, so it's good to be mindful of the environment while you enjoy the surf. If you’re planning a trip, check the wind, as north winds are preferable for optimal surfing conditions.
