Overview

In the north of Lanzarote, the atmosphere is that of a very exposed island, with a wild coastline and often strong winds. Famara beach is the local reference: a long sandy bay with space for sailing, waves, and a body of water that can quickly become choppy depending on the wind and swell. This area is known for its fairly consistent conditions year-round, with more comfortable practice at low tide when the space is wider. The area remains accessible, but the wave side and exposure require a minimum level of comfort, especially when the wind picks up. Lanzarote clearly has a well-established kite culture, more oriented towards sliding trips and dynamic sessions than ultra-flat spots.
