Surfing Mejillones
A left & right reef in The North Track, Spain, for advanced and pro surfers.
Mejillones is a reef on the North Track in north Fuerteventura, near Majanicho, with lefts and rights. It breaks in deeper water than most of the reefs along this dirt road, so it handles a bit more size.
It needs a clean swell and suits experienced surfers. Conditions change a lot along the North Track, so check a few spots before choosing.
It's best on a clean north-west swell in winter. Like the rest of the North Track, it's reached on a rough dirt road, and there's nothing on the coast itself, so bring water. Corralejo is about fifteen minutes away.

Getting there
Where to stay: Corralejo is the base for the North Track, with the most apartments, surf hostels, schools and restaurants on the island. El Cotillo, on the west side, is quieter and closer to the beaches and the lagoons. Lajares, inland between the two, is a small village popular with surfers who want something calmer.
Transport, costs, where to stay and the rest of the waves in the area are in the The North Track guide.
