Overview
In the north of Fuerteventura, there is a coastline very exposed to the trade winds, with a true kite culture and several well-known spots around Corralejo. The area is famous for its long beaches, water that is generally flat to moderately choppy depending on the location, and a fairly reliable wind from spring to summer, with the most consistent conditions often between April and September. Flag Beach is the most accessible option, well-suited for beginners and intermediate riders, while El Burro and El Cotillo require more experience when the swell comes in and conditions become more challenging. Further out or at the wave spots, one has to deal with shorebreak, currents, and sometimes a side-offshore wind, so it's better to be comfortable with navigation. The atmosphere remains very sliding and quite international, between freeride sessions, schools, and “guaranteed wind” trips.
