Surfing Spew Pits
A right reef in The North Track, Spain, for advanced and pro surfers.
Spew Pits is a short, heavy right that barrels over shallow lava reef on Fuerteventura's north shore, along the dirt track that links Corralejo and El Cotillo. It needs a clean swell and an offshore wind, and it's one of the hardest waves on the island.
The reef is sharp and very shallow, so it's only for surfers with plenty of reef experience, and booties are a must. The spot is easy to miss from the track, so ask in Corralejo or El Cotillo before you go.

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.
