Shallow at low tide.
On bigger swells it’s a challenge by itself to get into the water over sharp lava rock. The main break has two sections, both of them very close to nasty rocks. The inside left is a bit less dangerous. THIS IS FOR EXPERTS ONLY! Respect the locals, even when they use a bodyboard.More info about the area on www.datrip.com
Rocky Point Surf Spot Guide, Canary Islands Rocky Point is a sheltered reef break that comes alive when Atlantic swells wrap around the island, offering long, clean lines and surprisingly easy takeoffs for a reef setup. Located right in the heart of Corralejo on Fuerteventura, this is one of the Canary Islands' most accessible quality […]
Works only if swell is too big for North Shore +5m. Good for Longbording since it is not hollow, but possible for shortboards too. Paddle out is easy, you don´t have to duckdive.

machanicho actually consists of 3 different spots. most of the current description describes what is called machanicho inside. machanicho inside actually works best with no wind and incoming tide. it holds only up to 5ft and works best if the swell comes in from nw. the ride is about 20 to 40m at best. rips and currnts are pussy, so enjoy the ride
standing on the reef you can see machanicho outside on the right edge of the bay entry. its quite a paddle out there and the incoming water will push you back. wave works starting from waist high up to doh. it can be powerful but is mostly ridden by longboarders.
if you stand on the reef and look right. you can see waves breaking on the left edge of the bay. i consider them hardly rideable. a bit more to the middle of the bay a nice and gentle longboard wave starts to wrok of the swell on the outside reefs exceeds 3m+. it breaks over a large rock (size of a bus-visible at low tide only), so make sure you are in front of the rock or on the side. its an a-frame and has to exceed overheadsize before ist rideable. take a bid board and ride it till the middle of the bay. current may get strong depending on tide.
Get the ferry from the harbour at Corralejo. It leaves at 10am and returns at 4pm. From the port on Lobos it is a long walk over to the point. Paddle out off the rocks.Take loads of food and water and sun screen and booties.The spot has several sections which link up easily.There is an easy take followed by a nice open wall for 100m or more, then a long fast tube section. This part of the wave is the most dangerous as it is very shallow and close to the cliff. After the tube section is another open wall followed by another tube section which may close out. If you get this far it is about 500m.The island of Los Lobos is unihabited and the wave breaks along the base of an old volcanoe. Because of the remoteness of the spot it is best left for experienced surfers. A bad wipeout could be nasty if you get dragged across the bottom and help is a long way away.
You can park your car above the shore, there is kind of a natural parking lot... The wave breaks over a reef, so watch out and check how deep the water is. When walking in you'll notice how shallow it is. Paddle in from right then paddle into line-up far left. Current!
You can park your car at the side of the road. The wave breaks at the end of the beach over rocks, plus there's a point break on the left side of the bay. If it's windy forget it, there'll be too many windsurfers speeding around. While the beach is sandy and soft, the ground in the water ´mostly rock, looking like sand-bottom (yes!).I recommend booties, as I made contact with sea-urchins -> Ouch!Can be nice there, definetely worth a try.English people call this spot Glass beach, maybe because of the crystal clear water.
