Tidal Range: Approximately 2 meters, enough to significantly affect volcanic reef breaks. Many spots have narrow optimal windows. Beach breaks work through most tides.

Bottom Type: Predominantly volcanic rock and lava reef. Sharp, shallow, and unforgiving. Reef booties recommended for rocky entries. Some sandy beaches at Famara, Flag Beach, and Las Canteras.

Hazards: Sharp volcanic rock is the primary hazard. Sea urchins common in reef areas. Strong currents at exposed points. Some spots have difficult paddle-outs through channels. Localism at certain breaks can create tense lineups.
