Surfing Waves

Anyone got any tips on the Canary Islands in May for surf?

Was looking at either Tenerife or Lanzarote, but I'm not too sure which would be best- my girlfriend is a relative beginner, so I'm trying to find somewhere she'd be able to surf as well..

Also, what's the water like around then in either place? Better to bring a shorty or a full 3/2?

Did you know that above the forum is a heading saying "surf map" lots basic information about many Canary spots have a look at that. Someone may offer their experiences too!

Thanks!
