The trade wind comes from the northeast almost every day, so every island has a windy, wavy north and east and a calmer south and west in its lee. Fuerteventura and Lanzarote are flat and windy all over, which is why the kitesurfers go there; the high islands, Tenerife and Gran Canaria, shelter their southern beaches. Atlantic swell from the north reaches the north coasts in winter.
The northeast trade wind (the alisio) blows most days, strongest in summer.
1. Gran Canaria
Calm water, the wind blows from the land here, waves under 0.3 m on this beach (our estimate), quiet. 20.3 km from San Bartolomé de Tirajana.

3. Tenerife
