Playa del Aguila Swimming Forecast

Playa del Aguila scores 73/100 for swimming today at its best ability level (expert). The beach faces NW. A wild, remote, facility-free beach on Fuerteventura's northwest coast, backed by high volcanic cliffs, reached by dirt track and a steep, worn staircase of about 130 steps. North-Atlantic exposure brings waves never gentle, suiting surfing in northerly wind; the area sees winter swells to 5m. A wide sand esplanade is exposed at low tide, while at high tide the sea reaches the cliffs, cutting off retreat. No facilities or lifeguard.
