About this spot

Quivers Surf Pro sits on the north coast of Tenerife in the Canary Islands, where Atlantic storm systems deliver reliable swell throughout the year. The break forms over volcanic rock and sand near Puerto de la Cruz, creating a mix of reef and beach conditions that work in most wind patterns. Winter months typically bring the biggest swells, but summer offers smaller, cleaner options for building skills or cruising. The area's volcanic geography creates unique wave shapes and fast walls that reward smooth technique. Local lineups vary by tide and swell direction, so timing and local knowledge help you find your best session. The break sits outside marine protected areas, giving surfers straightforward access without special permits. Facilities in Puerto de la Cruz include shops, cafés, and accommodations within walking distance of the water. The combination of consistent swell, varied break types, and beginner-to-intermediate terrain makes Quivers Surf Pro a solid choice for visiting surfers of different levels.

  • Dane's like one of those seasoned blues guitar players who has 20 different Fender Strats with slightly different tunings. We normal folk wouldn't feel much of a difference, but he does.
