Playa El Puertillo Swimming Forecast

Playa El Puertillo scores 65/100 for swimming today at its best ability level (expert). The beach faces N. A remote, cliff-backed beach within a natural park on Gran Canaria's northwest coast, reached on foot, undeveloped and unsupervised. The shore mixes sand, cobble and gravel, with strong, variable waves and wind typical of this exposed, north-facing stretch. At low tide a large sandy area opens between the cliffs, but currents strengthen and can drag water, especially on the western part, as the tide changes. No lifeguard or safety signage is present.
