Bocabarranco is located on the coast of Gran Canaria and is often considered an average surf spot. It features a mix of sandy areas and boulders, which can lead to varying wave conditions. While it might not be the first choice for many surfers, it does have some interesting aspects worth checking out if you're in the area.

The best surf here happens when the swell comes from the NorthWest, with additional swells from the West and North. Bocabarranco can handle swell sizes around 2ft (0.6m), making it suitable for beginners. The waves tend to break left and right, mostly forming beach breaks that can sometimes deliver decent rides. If you're looking to surf, the mid tide tends to work best, and winds from the south are preferable for a more enjoyable experience.

While Bocabarranco can be a spot for beginners to practice their skills, it's important to be aware of your surroundings and the general environment. Always keep an eye on the local conditions and be prepared for what the ocean might throw at you.
