La Izquierda

Tenerife, Spain
🪸Sharp reef👥Crowded👊Localism

La Izquierda is a powerful left-hand reef break in Tenerife that produces heavy barrels when north swells hit. The wave breaks in front of what was once a Club Med resort and attracts a committed local crew. The freight-train speed demands respect and expert-level ability.
