About Benijo

Benijo is a reef break (rocky bottom) on the north coast of Tenerife, facing north-west.

It works best with a north swell and a south-east wind, which blows offshore here and keeps the waves clean. It usually breaks best from mid to high tide; at low tide the bottom gets shallow, so take care.

Recommended level: beginner. Watch out for rocks and localism.

The best months are January, February and December: in January conditions are good on 31% of days, dropping to 1% in summer. Based on wave and wind data since 1958.
