Easy access and works almost everyday. Also great for experienced longboarders. The spot has a little sandy beach with a small foodshop. The sun will disappear around 4.30 p.m due to the mountains. View in the water of the island is great!!
strong currents
if the swell gets big the sets usually close out in the center of the beach and produce a really strong eastward current towards the rocky parts of the beach. if you're only an ocassional surfer and not in the shape of your life wait for small waves. it seemed to me that with medium sized and big waves it's a experienced/pro surfers spot (mainly because of the strong currents and the strong waves).

socorro or run away
coooooool spot ,atleast around puerto /orotava and so on the best spot i saw...maybe playa los patos is as good as well but patos is closing out a little bit sometimes...socorro is definetly one of my favorites when i lived in tenerife puerto del la cruz...better you know a little bit of surf and be prepared to some strong currents sometime...in winter it can get very agressive with some big swells from north north/west...hardly crowded most of the time and that sucks because only if the locals remember your face for weeks they are nice...there also some few locals wich are very cool,but few....take a look at bajamar (in the northeast of tenerife above la laguna....cheers
