- Arrival
- Fly into Gran Canaria Airport (LPA). Gáldar is in the northwest of the island, roughly a 45-minute drive.
- Where to stay
- Gáldar or the northern towns (Agaete, Sardina del Norte) keep you close to the cliff. Las Palmas is 30 minutes away.
- Transport
- Renting a car is the most practical option with gear. Global buses run, but a car gives you freedom on lay days.
- Weather and wetsuit
- October: air 24–28 °C, water around 22 °C. A 3/2 mm or 2/2 mm wetsuit is recommended.
- The wave
- El Frontón breaks over a very shallow, sharp volcanic reef. Expert only: helmet and heavy-duty leash strongly advised.
