Alcalá / Playa San JuanSouth Tenerife (Los Cristianos)
opasnodanas u zavjetrini rta — mrtvo more dolazi bočno/otraga (razina grada)
- prozor
- Canary framework: acotada and daylight. On this coast the morning is almost always good because the wind comes in late, and in summer the sea can stay flat a week straight. In winter you wait between westerly swell trains; between them you get days of very clean water.
- plima
- The 2.4 m Canary springs do not change your working depth, because the drop-off is deep from the first metre, but they do decide the ramp: at low water the concrete at Playa San Juan ends in a slippery boulder step. At high water the cobbles are covered and the entry is cleaner.
- zaklon
- The Alcalá coast lies in the lee of the Teno massif and the bulk of Teide, so the NE trade passes overhead and the sea is often oily flat; that is why the west is the good face of Tenerife. The trade-off is the winter W-SW ground swell, which arrives with no filter at all.
- uvjeti
- This is the bluest water on the island: in summer you get 25 m without trying and you read the drop-off from the surface, because the bottom falls away very close in. The only things that dirty it are westerly seas stirring the beach cobbles and a loaded barranco after heavy rain.
