Level: Intermediate, Expert

Type: Ocean

Water type: Small wave, Medium wave

Water hazards: Currents

Water quality: Crystal clear

Infos: It's a wave spot. In summer and with low tide not so big waves. Always respect the surfers, they are usually at the right side of the beach near the cliff and if you can go upwind quickly you should not bother them. Sometimes strong currents.

Beach type & size: Sand - Medium

Infos: Sand beach about 150m long and 70m wide. Beach surrounded by cliffs, in downwind direction there is only one more beach (Playa del Hombre) that you can go out of the water with out a lot of troubles if something goes wrong especially dangerous with waves. You have to be good in going upwind because if not you end at the rocks of the right side. When not staying upwind, go to the open ocean and the wind is better there.

Identified hazards: Rocks

Beachgoer: None

Weather specificities: Nice air temps year-round, but water rather cold, so wetsuit always needed (3mm wetsuit all year or less). Lots of sunshine.

Wind type: Trade

Wind specificities: The only direction of wind is Northeast, the more East the better. With North the wind is very turbulent at the beach. Gusty near shore because of the little mountain of the left. In summer and when it's blowing 30+ knots in Pozo Izquierdo, then in Playa del Hombre it's about 20 knots.

Best months: May, June, July, August, September

Access description: by Car - From the airport go to the North direction Las Palmas and take the exit to Melenara. About 200m before arriving at Melenara follow the signs to Playa del Hombre. Drive up the hill and within the urbanization follow the signs beach `Playa`. There are two beaches: Bocabarranco (smaller beach) to the left and Playa del Hombre to the right.

Specific rules: None

Extra: It's a beach for experts only, you need to be very good going upwind. If not, you will end at the right side on cliffs. Always try to sail to the left to leave enough room to come back to the beach if something goes wrong. Only in summer there is a possibility for rescue from Melenara Red Cross but only if you call emergency 112 and they could be there in 15 minutes if everything goes ok. It's a surfing spot you have to be very kind with them. Usually they only surf when the tide is high and for kitesurf it's easy going with low tide.
