Met Office

As of 12th October, five Club members have booked for El Medano, Tenerife for a windsurfing holiday on/around Monday 11th November for 7 days or more. Nowhere in the world offers guaranteed wind, but this location seems as reliable as can be and offers a variety of conditions. You're welcome to join them if you wish. The Club isn't acting as a Travel Agent. We can help to pair people up for accommodation purposes, but each person/couple would book direct online or with a Travel Agent, or pay another member for accommodation before they book it on behalf of a few. 

You can still add on to this holiday and stay independently. Dave Martin and Andy Pepper are staying in an apartment and Norbert, Eddie and John (and Trudy) will stay at Hotel Medano. Members are going at slightly different times to suit themselves and for 5, 7 or 12 days. Contact Dave if you want to know more - This email address is being protected from spambots.

This video gives an excellent overview of the location.

Dave Martin spoke to a couple who visit the resort regularly in November and gleaned this about the conditions:
The North beach, Playa del Cabezo, at El Medano is definitely an experts wave sailing "beach" (more rocks than sand), but the South beach, where all the hire centres are is more user friendly. (https://www.azulkiteboarding.com/en/webcam-2/  https://canariaslife.com/es/camaras-de-tenerife/el-medano/muelle/). Sometimes a bit of shore break, but the main bay is bump and jump territory. There is a waveriding area upwind outside the harbour wall, which when Dave was there years ago was fairly benign, as he says he just got washed up onto a sand bar when things went pear shaped!

Here are some more details to help you decide if you want to go ....
