Tarifa

Balneario mainly works with the Levante, an east offshore wind that can reach up to 45 knots and create intense conditions for freestyle or big air. With the Poniente (west), it is side-on-shore with a chop water surface and small waves of 1 meter, even more in case of swells of 2 meters on average, perfect for surfkite.

The north wind is rare (5% of the days) but offers a constant side-shore with a slightly choppy ocean, ideal for surfkite in medium to strong swell. The navigation area is small and technical, with direct launching from the sandy beach without pebbles. Be careful to stay within the authorized area, especially out of the summer season when there is no rescue boat.

The beach faces the Atlantic Ocean, near the Isla de la Paloma which separates the Atlantic and Mediterranean. For launching, prefer the clear areas near the port, but the spot is narrow so be vigilant about kite traffic.
