Overview
At the southernmost tip of Spain, Tarifa is a true capital of kite surfing, known for its frequent winds and its glide destination atmosphere. The two prevailing winds, Levante and Poniente, provide either a flat and choppy water surface or a more formed one, with some chop and sometimes waves on the exposed beaches, depending on the day. It’s a very diverse area, with zones suitable for both learning and advanced navigation, but some spots can quickly become challenging when the Levante picks up, requiring experience. Between April and October, the conditions are particularly sought after, with high traffic on the most famous beaches. The atmosphere in the city remains very sporty and lively, making Tarifa a kite trip destination as well as a spot for progression and big air.
