El Confital is located on the south coast of Tenerife, offering surfers a unique and challenging break. This spot can get crowded, especially in spring and summer when conditions are just right. You’ll likely see a mix of locals and visitors. It's a place where you need to be aware of the vibe in the water, as there can be a bit of localism.

The surf here is known for its fast, hollow lefts that break over an uneven reef. It works best with a south swell, but southeast and southwest swells can also produce good waves. The ideal swell size to aim for is around 2 to 3 feet (0.6 to 1 meter), and it can handle even bigger conditions, as long as the right wind is blowing from the north. Mid to high tide is preferred for the best ride, but you really want to have solid skills in the water since this spot is suited for expert surfers only.

When the swell aligns just right, it can be a lot of fun, but it’s important to keep in mind that it's not a beginner-friendly spot. Be ready to share the waves with other experienced surfers and respect the local scene.
