Fuerteventura is awesome probably one of the best islands I have ever visited. Surf for all standards and lots of it. The accommodation is brilliant and cheap, defiantly the best thing to do is self catering, and there are plenty of supermarkets available to buy all the bits and booze. There are a number of shops around but the best and cheapest is the locals local. At the back of town on the west side not far from the mountain which can be spotted from anywhere.
The weather is awesome lovely and warm all year round, personally I tend to head over November and February. When the surf picks up and the tourists are sat at home freezing! The wind does pose a problem to some visitors but you will quickly adjust and it will become a pleasant breeze to ease the warmth. The locals have accommodated for the wind and being on the beach, they have created little wind havens were rocks have been stacked in circular shapes on the dunes to create a wind barrier which is amazing and also some privacy.
The town of Corralejo is awesome! Has such a wide diversity of foods, shopping, bars and the clubs. The music is something which Corralejo seems to focus on, every night each bar has its own artists playing and most are extremely talented. Tip: Check out the back bars near quicksilver surf school, awesome little bar and great atmosphere normally a car park on the high street with an arrow on it. The bars are endless, the clubs aren’t huge it’s not an 18-30's holiday. It is somewhere to chill with friends and soak up the atmosphere.
Surf wise it can be a travel, by that a 15min drive depending on your ideal desto. Most surf schools out there are awesome. I had a great time with the quicksilver lads and a couple of safari groups we hoped on to travel about. They sort you out with the travel and the spot and normally a good bit of company for a few beerios in the evening. A hire car can also be an option if you have a bit extra cash.
If a higher car is available I would recommend heading south. Some awesome beaches ripped straight out of a magazine. Here you lose your waves but paradise arrives. Heaven for windsurfers and kite surfers as the water is about 4ft deep and glassy!
Overall Fuerteventura is one of the most southerly points of Spain and you are in line with Africa and the Moroccan coast. So the weather is outstanding and the surf goes with it!
Have fun and let me know what you thought. J
