Famara's getting consistent but marginal northerly winds at 10-17kt with gusts to 23kt through the period. Wind direction is off the preferred NW angle, sitting more north to NNE, which compromises the legendary wave-riding setup. Small 1.1-1.6m swells at 6-7 seconds provide some bump but nothing spectacular. Best window looks like Thursday (May 15th) with 12-17kt and cleaner conditions, though still not the classic NW direction that makes this spot shine.

Bottom line: Rideable but not firing – consider it practice time rather than prime Famara conditions.
