Caleta De Caballo Izquierda surf guide

Caleta De Caballo Izquierda is a surf spot located on the west side of the bay, west of the town. This spot offers a left-breaking wave that is generally pretty ordinary by Lanzarote standards. It’s the kind of place you might hit if the more popular spots are crowded or just not working. The vibe here is chill, but don't expect to be alone in the water; it can get quite busy, especially with the local crew showing up when the winds are out of the La Santa breaks.

The wave breaks over an uneven reef and typically handles swell sizes around 2 feet (about 0.6 meters), making it suitable mainly for intermediate surfers. The best swell directions are from the northwest and north, so keep that in mind when you’re planning your session. The waves generally roll in as lefts, and the preferable wind direction is southwest, which can help shape things up nicely. Mid to high tides are the sweet spot for this wave, as that's when it tends to work best. Just be aware of the interesting rock that sometimes pops up in the middle of the ride to keep things lively.

While surfing at Caleta De Caballo Izquierda, you’ll need to watch out for urchins—there are plenty around, so be cautious if you end up bailing out. Overall, this spot might not be the first pick for everyone, but if you’re in the area and looking for a different place to surf, it's worth checking out.
