Surfing Morro Negro
A right reef in La Santa, Spain, for advanced and pro surfers.
Morro Negro is the right at La Santa, on the north-west coast of Lanzarote, breaking on the other side of the same reef as the La Santa left. It's shorter and more hollow than the left, with a tight takeoff and a fast barrel section.
It needs a solid north-west swell and the right tide, and it's for experienced surfers. The reef is sharp volcanic rock, so booties help. A strong local crew surfs it, so be patient in the lineup.
La Santa is a small village with a few apartments, and most surfers stay in Famara, about twenty minutes away.
