The last day of the school for rose and susanna..first day for Eri..GOOD SCHOOLBOY….PLAYA DE FAMARA LANZAROTE LA SANTA KALUFA SURF SCHOOL….STAY TUNE AND STAY CLEAN

Famara is in a spectacular location on the sparsely populated north shore of Lanzarote, with magnificent volcanic cliffs rising up steeply from the eastern end of the beach. These run north for a couple of miles and effectively scoop all the Atlantic swell towards the beach. This creates a vigorous right to left current along the beach, with a number of rips that shift with the sand bars. In anything but a calm sea this can be a problem for the unwary (i.e. me!). Very mellow local surf school in the village). Surf lessons from the south coast can create a few crowds, but generally there is enough to go around. Beware of the rocks at the west end of the beach. There is a beautiful hollow wedge immediately in front of the village onto sharp volcanic rocks for the experienced only. A shipwreck in the middle of the bay is from a tanker that went down some time ago but still has some residual oil droplets on the beach which stick tar to your feet especially in the summer.
