The Quemao Class surfing event is now on amber alert, as organisers wait for the perfect conditions to hold one of the most popular sporting events on the island.
Named after El Quemao, the famous wave just off the shore of the village of La Santa, the contest will see 32 surfers and 32 bodyboarders compete over two days.
The event usually takes place in late November or December, but any day now could see the green alert activated and the competitors rush to the north coast of Lanzarote for the competition.
