Spot de Las Cucharas

Las Cucharas

Las Cucharas

Overview

Las Cucharas is the premier windsurf and kitesurf spot on the east coast of Lanzarote, located in the tourist resort of Costa Teguise. It's a beach in a semi-enclosed bay with an outer reef that creates left-hand waves breaking away from the shore.

The spot has hosted the Windsurf World Championship and is famous for its consistent conditions. The NE trade wind blows side-onshore, providing excellent wave riding and bump-and-jump conditions.

Las Cucharas is popular with all levels but can get very crowded during peak season with windsurfers, kitesurfers, foilers, and tourists. The tourist infrastructure of Costa Teguise is right at the beach with hotels, restaurants, and shops.
