Beginner (green waves) (knee to chest high): no month on most days · Intermediate (chest high to just overhead): most days, all year · Advanced (head high and up): most days in Nov–Apr
On most days the wave at the peak is bigger than chest high at every spot on our list for this level. All of them are open to the swell: there may be smaller waves on the inside or in sheltered corners that the model cannot see.
Model estimate: no suitable buoy within 50 km to check it against.
Red Star Surf & Yoga says: "Famara beach is 6 km long, with different sections that work in different tide and swell conditions, so there is always a suitable spot for every level." - in some months our figures read fewer days for first lessons here, so take them as a guide. (camp’s page)

Days that miss first lessons are too small when every learner spot is under 0.5 m, and too big when none is in the 0.5–2 m band and one is above it. The other levels are read on the face of the wave at its peak: beginner on green waves 0.6–1.2 m, intermediate 1.2–2 m, advanced 1.5 m and up.
