Corralejo Flag Beach
Spain · Îles Canaries
Flag Beach, located 10 minutes from Corralejo in the north of Fuerteventura, is the most popular kitesurfing spot on the island. This white sandy beach facing Lobos Island offers turquoise water and a perfect setting for riding or relaxing with sunbeds and umbrellas available.
Close to the city center, you can easily go for a drink or shopping after your session. It's a lively place with kite schools on-site, ideal for progressing in a protected environment from the big northern swells.
The beach attracts riders and locals for its consistent wind and friendly atmosphere, although it fills up quickly in summer.
Historical averages by month — not a live forecast.
Flag Beach is oriented northeast, with wind often side-on or side-off coming from the north or northwest, perfect for stable sessions. The water surface is generally flat thanks to the protection of Lobos Island which blocks northern swells, but it can become wavy with powerful northeast swells.
Launching is done directly from the sandy beach, but it is narrow especially in high season when it is crowded. The navigation area is wide with a part dedicated to kiters, separated from windsurfers: stay in the marked kite area to avoid conflicts. Launching requires caution due to the crowd and bathers in summer.
The waters are shallow at the edge, ideal for jumps and freestyle, with a flat inside and a more choppy or wavy outside depending on conditions. Be careful of the reef that sometimes surfaces, and plan for a rescue boat with local schools for advanced sessions.
