Surfing Waves

I've heard surf on Gran Canaria isn't the best and that you should try the north if anything. But I will be living and working in the south for a year or so and I just wanted to ask if anyone have any good advice. Or if anyone else is living down there and want to grab a beer.

All info on surfing or cool bars would be great! I am hoping to find a great house on the beach to stay in and bbq my way through winter.

The Canary Islands get some of the best surf there is. The islands get called the European Hawaii all the time.

The outside islands get the best swell, I don't have/can be arsed getting a map so I don't know how sheltered Gran Canaria is but it'll still get some great surf and the exposed bits will always only be a wee drive away!!

You constantly read about beach developments ruining surf spots there, so they must be riding something.

Enjoy!
