There are world-class surf spots all over Tenerife. The southwestern side of the island offers famous surf spots such as La Izquierda, K16 and El Conquistador (these waves are undoubtedly the best and most famous on Tenerife with La Lzquierida being the best left hand wave in Europe and the one gave Tenerife its name for surfing back in the early 70's.

Playa Martianez is an impressive curving beach, protected by a breakwater with two surf spots where the waves break over sand/rock bottom. The first, a right-hander known by the locals as La Derecha, is good for beginners and long boarders wave. The second, called La Baja, is a shorter, faster wave which works best with a bigger swell.
Playa Jardin is found west of the old town and offers a long beautiful beach, with rocks dividing it into two parts. The waves here are less consistent but when the swell is too big for Playa Martianez, this beach break works well. It suits surfers of all levels.
La Caleta is found further west along the coast - just outside the little village Garachico. These rights and lefts work up to 15 feet all year round so you never normally have an issue with size of swell. The small town Bajamar is a little further east of the northern town Puerto de la Cruz and you will find is extremely popular with professional, it is a great place to visit to watch and be inspired.
Another great spot is Los Dos Hermanos is set in a spectacular bay and has powerful rights and lefts and for those looking for long right hand waves then Fuera De La Bajeta offers a great wave of true quality at times.
