Surfing Los Lobos
A right point in The North Track, Spain, for intermediate and advanced surfers.
Los Lobos is a long right point on the small island of Lobos, off Corralejo, reached by ferry or boat. On a good north swell it peels for a long way over rock and reef, and it's one of the longest waves in the Canary Islands.
The island is a natural park with almost no buildings and no facilities for surfers, so bring food and water and check the boat times back. It gets busy on the best days, when the boats from Corralejo bring surfers over.

Getting there
Where to stay: Corralejo is the base for the North Track, with the most apartments, surf hostels, schools and restaurants on the island. El Cotillo, on the west side, is quieter and closer to the beaches and the lagoons. Lajares, inland between the two, is a small village popular with surfers who want something calmer.
Transport, costs, where to stay and the rest of the waves in the area are in the The North Track guide.
