Gran Canaria Pro-Am Set to Begin Tuesday in Las Palmas as Promising Swell Looms
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria – The 2025 Gran Canaria Pro-Am is scheduled to start this Tuesday, 16 December, with forecasts pointing to favorable surf conditions throughout the week. The event, now in its sixth edition since launching in 2018, has built a reputation for consistent waves, and early indications suggest that this year may continue that trend.
A series of Atlantic storms has generated solid swell across Western Europe, and organizers anticipate that the final weekend of competition could bring strong surf and manageable winds at El Lloret, the event’s primary venue. The right-hand point break has become known for producing reliable conditions and has been the site of every APP SUP Surfing World Champion crowning since 2018.
Athletes from around the world are arriving on Gran Canaria’s North Shore as preparations continue for the opening rounds. The event remains a key stop on the APP World Tour, drawing top stand-up paddle surfers to compete for season-defining points.
Longboard and Junior Divisions to Open the Event
Competition is expected to begin at La Cicer on Tuesday with the SUP longboard and junior divisions, conditions permitting. The APP World Tour will also introduce a new masters division for 2025, expanding opportunities for athletes across age categories.
Later in the week, the contest is set to shift to El Lloret, where a new pulse of swell is forecast to peak over the weekend. This timing positions the main draw for potentially optimal surf during the event’s decisive rounds.
