How wind and tide change the waves
Offshore wind blows from land to sea and grooms the face. Onshore wind makes it choppy. Because Gran Canaria is steep and sheltered by its own mountains, which direction counts as offshore depends on the coast: the north coast wants south-easterly breezes, the east coast wants westerlies, and the south coast wants northerlies.
Shallow reefs such as La Laja behave differently on low and high tide; spot pages list each break's preferred tide.
