General
Lanzarote is a well known tourist destination and with its year round mild weather is a great surf surf destination. Known as the Hawaii of the Atlantic and without the over development which 
has ruined some of the other Canary islands Lanzarote has been a surfers favourite for many a year. Lanzarote is also cheap to fly to with many tour operators flying inon a daily basis. The vegetation is arid due to the lack of rain and its vocanic history and so there is impressive scenery. Although Spanish is the main language English is widely spoken due to the large tourist trade.
The Surf
Lanzarote has a range of surf from gentle beachies to gnarly barrelling slabs. The major surf areas are arround La Santa and Famara in the North West of the Island. La Santa has a range of volcanic reef breaks which arent for the faint hearted. For expereniced surfers only and there is localism so be respectful and careful and you might just score the barrels of your life. Famara is a quiet cool little unspoilt village with a long beach which is suitable for all standards. There is also a few reefs in the area if you look arround. Again be careful with locals on the reef, often the early sessions before the locals get up is best. Also the winds can get strong by mid day so the early bird scores the worm in the canaries. There is waves arrround the north of the island which can offer protection. La Graciso and island of the north has some hidden gems but is only for the very experienced.
The Climate/Seasons/Water temps
The canaries is a constant 25 degrees year round and although the water temp is always mild enough for a 3\2 or shorty it is not really warm enough for board shorts. The winter season from October to April is the best time to visit the canaries as it is the swell season and the European winter meaning it is warmer than anywere else in Europe and the winds are lighter.
