Hazards

ROCKS The Peñón de Ifach creates rocky underwater hazards. Stick to sandy beach zones away from the rock base.
RIP The Peñón's base creates eddies and a pull on bigger swells — stay well clear of the rock and ride the current back toward open sand.
LOCALS Relaxed beginner scene on both Levante and Arenal-Bol — plenty of schools, easygoing about visitors.
CURRENT The rock creates currents and eddies on bigger swells. Check from the shore first.

Local knowledge

Best tide Mid to high rising · low tide exposes reef dangerously
Peak season Oct–Mar · NE swell on Levante · SW swell on Arenal-Bol · Rock creates two distinct environments
Swell key NE swell on Levante (north) · Arenal-Bol more sheltered · Peñón creates refraction
Level Beginner · Sandy beaches both sides · One of the most photogenic sessions in the Med
Dawn patrol Sunrise behind the Peñón from Arenal-Bol is world-class. Worth setting an alarm.
