Operated by Get Holiday · Playa de la Americas, Santa Cruz de Tenerife
Playa de la Americas on Tenerife's southwestern coast offers a dynamic playground for surfers, blending Atlantic swells and volcanic shoreline into compelling waves that attract adventurers year-round. Get Holiday, a local surf school, has honed an experience ideal for newcomers and intermediate wave riders eager to take on these consistent breaks. Their signature Clase De Surf En Las Americas is a 2-hour session combining practical beach-side theory with hands-on wave riding under expert guidance. The lesson unfolds right on Playa de las Americas beach, where black volcanic sands meet the sea, adding a raw edge to the setting.
Tenerife’s geographic position just off northwest Africa ensures the surf here carries reliable energy, boosted by the Atlantic’s seasonal winds. The surrounding landscape is distinct—dark basalt cliffs frame the coastline, while native Canarian flora dots the nearby hills. This environment offers more than just surf; it's an introduction to the oceanic and volcanic forces shaping the island.
After intensive coaching, students get an additional hour on their own boards, an invaluable opportunity to apply skills as the sun dips toward the horizon. The session wraps with a local touch: a refreshing cerveza at Get Holiday’s surf school bar, encouraging camaraderie and relaxation.
What makes this experience stand out is the blend of high-quality instruction with the approachable yet powerful surf conditions unique to Tenerife. Compared to mainland Spain’s Mediterranean beaches, these Atlantic swells provide more consistent, challenging waves for all skill levels. For travelers seeking a surf trip infused with cultural authenticity, volcanic vistas, and lively beach vibes, Get Holiday delivers a genuine entry into Tenerife’s surfing scene.
