Playa del Sorocco in Tenerife is an exposed beach and reef break that has quite reliable surf and can work at any time of the year. Offshore winds are from the southwest. Waves just as likely from local windswells as from distant groundswells and the optimum swell angle is from the north. The beach break provides left and right handers. Good surf at all stages of the tide. Often Crowded. Overcrowding can even make surfing hazardous.
