This is another of the best known waves on the island. The Quemao is perhaps the most aggressive of all. It breaks only with the Western Sea and it does so on volcanic rock full of "holes" that make it especially sharp. On days with very tidy seas you can surf a good right, but the important one is the left.

The wave starts to work in conditions from a meter and a half, although it holds swells of three to four meters and only the best riders are capable of surfing it.

The descent is very difficult when you paddle it it seems that it will never take you until finally you take off at breakneck speed from the same crest and the lip is amazingly thick. The wave has a huge tube section at first, then smooths out a bit.

On good days, with the sea coming in the right direction, you have another section of tubing and then some, to end up near the little pier on the shore, but most of the the waves close at the end, but you have enough time to escape.

There is a strong current that when you fall and stay close to the shore takes you towards the end of the wave, that is if you have strength after the roll in which you usually touch the bottom more than once. once.

There are many who dare to say that it is one of the most powerful in Europe, and has even been compared to Pipeline. This wave is the jewel in the crown of Lanzarote and for a few years a Championship has been held there with the best European surfers.
