<p>Flag Beach is probably one of the most popular spots in Fuerteventura due to the relatively flat water in the summer and a large open beach with plenty of space for loads of kitesurfers to safely ride together. It’s also located really close to the popular tourist town of Corralejo which offers restaurants, bars and parties depending on what kind of holiday you are looking for. The wind in the summer is very consistent here with the North East trade wind plus a thermal effect from the island itself ensuring that you’ll most likely score some epic kitesurfing. Fuerteventura is only a short flight from most of Europe and with cheap flights and holiday deals it’s easy to see why kitesurfers flock here year round.</p>

<p>There is only teaching by boat possible. To be safe you can book the rescue service from the local school at the spot.</p>

<p>Most of the accommodation options are a little away from the spot, and the island has a lot to offer if you don’t mind a bit of driving around. There are various tours on offer if you don’t want to drive yourself, with mountain biking, jet skis, quad bikes, and fishing to name just a few non kitesurfing activities. The local landscape is volcanic, so the geography on the island is impressive and hiking one of the nearby hills can make for a nice change from the beach.&nbsp;</p><p>You’ll find restaurants and bars in nearby Costa Calma, and particularly at weekends there can be a lively vibe there with parties into the night if you fancy it. Further afield you’ll find Corralejo with a multitude of bars and a much bigger party scene, as well as Cotillo if you want to check out a completely different kite spot.</p>

<p>Sotavento beach has been a windsurfing and kitesurfing destination since the very beginning, and hosts events of both the windsurfing and kitesurfing world tours. It’s reliably windy thanks to the geography, it’s warm, has a European vibe and it’s only a short flight from most of Europe making this a perfect year round kiteboarding destination. The wind can be strong and gusty here in the summer as it funnels down between the two mountains, and on the beach it blows cross offshore which means all the local kite schools offer rescue facilities, you’ll just have to pay for them. Fuerteventura means “strong wind” and Sotavento is no exception to that, being even windier than the spots in the North of the island.&nbsp;</p>

Sotavento Beach, amazing kitespot. 

Sotavento Beach

<p>The wind here blows most of the year, but the peak months for kitesurfing are from May until September, when the wind is at its strongest and can hit 40 knots some days. Generally during this time it’ll average over 20 knots, and the wind tends to pick up just before lunch, meaning if you like to sleep in this place might suit you. Due to the cross offshore wind direction the wind can be pretty gusty here, but compared to some Northern European spots it’s not too bad.</p><p>The water close to the beach is flat, and gets more choppy the further out you go, with little waves offering nice clean kickers to jump off closer to shore. Watch out for big shore dump at high tide and in strong wind, but generally it’s a pretty easy entry to the water. There is a kitesurf zone which is marked on the beach and with various signs, but if in doubt ask the local schools. Beginners will stay inside the lagoon at Sotavento, the ocean side is more for the kitesurfers who can stay upwind already.&nbsp;</p><p>You’ll most likely want a wetsuit for the cooler months, but peak summer (June-August) you can often do with just shorts and t-shirt.</p><h3>Around the kite spot Playa de Sotavento</h3><p>Most of the accommodation options are a little away from the spot, and the island has a lot to offer if you don’t mind a bit of driving around.

<h3>Kitesurfing Wind Conditions in Matas Blancas</h3><p>From May until September offers the most consistent wind conditions in Fuerteventura but the island has a lovely climate throughout the year so you can kite here any time. The average daily temperature in the winter is 20 degrees Celsius, while in the summer it is around 28 degrees Celsius. The water temperature usually ranges between 18 to 23 degrees Celsius. The wind here is thermally generated so as the land heats up the air rises, pulling in colder air from the ocean. The wind picks up speed in the morning and reaches its peak about noon. The stronger the wind the more gusty it becomes. Wind speed usually starts from 15 knots and can get really strong, so this is definitely a good spot to have a small kite in the bag.</p><h3>Around the Matas Blancas kitesurf spot</h3><p>Local landmarks include the Punta Janda Lighthouse and the Villa Winter Museum, while the natural beauty of the area can be witnessed on the north of Costa Calma Beach. Fuerteventura is a rugged island with stark natural beauty, and the area around Matas Blancas is pretty chilled, but you can surf nearby or snorkel and swim around the spot. If you want some more action you can head to Costa Calma itself, or drive even further North and visit Corralejo for a change of scenery and a night out on the town.</p><h3>How to travel to Matas Blancas and how to get around after you've arrived</h3><p>Matas Blancas kite spot is located just before Costa Calma. Fuerteventura Airport (FUE) is the closest airport to the kite spot, around an hours drive. Although public transportation is also a good way to get around on Fuerteventura we recommend renting a car for a better and smoother experience</p>

<p>Matas Blancas is one of the top kite spot in Fuerteventura because of the flat water in the bay and the pumping cross offshore wind. Advanced kitesurfers will love the flat water which is ideal for freestyle and wakestyle riding, while beginners will need to take lessons with a boat or jetski on hand. The beach boasts great white and golden sand, flat water, and soothing breezes which makes it perfect for anyone wishing to rejuvenate.&nbsp;Showers, toilets, changing rooms, vaults, shaded and quiet spaces, music, and anything else you need to make your vacation a little more beautiful are all available at the kite centre on the spot, so what else do you need. The rugged terrain makes Matas Blancas one of the most tranquil and relaxed kitesurf spots in Fuerteventura, but it can get crowded with kitesurfers and windsurfers wanting to make the most of the flat water.</p>

Matas Blancas

<div>The beach connects to the mainland of Fuerteventura with a narrow piece of land or an isthmus. So, when you stand on the beach, you either see the clear, turquoise blue water of the Atlantic Ocean glimmering under the sun or the nature and the landscape on the mountain. This is why the beach is popular among naturists as much as with the kiteboarder communities. The coast stretches so far that you might find a secluded spot on the beach to sunbathe and relax peacefully or hang around with your fellow kitesurfers for Kiteboarding.</div><div><br /></div><h3>Kitesurfing wind conditions in Playa de Jandia</h3><div>The locals believe that the peninsula got its name 'Fuerteventura' because of the strong wind. And there's some truth to it. As part of this peninsula, Jandia Beach is also fairly windy most times of the year. The wind usually comes from the northeast direction, and lucky for the kitesurfing enthusiasts, the beach is right where the trade winds start. Naturally, the kite spot is prone to strong winds. However, against all the rumours you may have heard, the wind is not always very strong. In the summertime, it is typically breezy. So, if your sole purpose of the visit is to have the best kiteboarding experience you can ever have, July and August are the best suitable months for you. </div><div><br /></div><h3>Around the kite spot Playa de Jandia</h3><div>Apart from the appealing kitesurfing experience, Playa de Jandia has few more things to offer. There are hotels and apartments nearby. You'll find healthcare centres and kite-repairing shops right around the corner. Restaurants and eateries are closer to where you can enjoy authentic Canarian cuisine. Non-Spanish cuisine is also available if you are not into the local recipes.

During peak season, typically from May to August, you can book yourself for snorkelling, jet-skiing, diving, windsurfing, buggy, cycling, hiking, etc. Since the place is famous with the international kiteboarding community, you'll be in the company of people with shared interests from the entire world. </div><div><br /></div><h3>How to get to Playa de Jandia and how to move there</h3><div>Your first destination has to be the Fuerteventura International Airport if you are travelling to Jandia Beach. However, the airport is almost 80km away. Luckily, there are multiple options for you to reach your destination. Public transport like bus or minibus is available but lower in number. So, renting a taxi is the easiest option for you. </div>

Jandia is famous for its beautiful nature reserve filled with flora and fauna. But the reserve is not complete without its white sandy Jandia beach. It is one prominent kitesurf spot on the south-western coast of the Canary Islands. The island itself is an appealing destination due to its mild and comfortable weather all year round. Jandia beach is no exception to that climate. You'll find many freestyle wind and kitesurfers gathering here every year because the annual championship takes place at Playa de Sovento, which is merely 5 minutes away from this beach. Surfing on the tides may take you a bit afar when you can witness village fishers working in the shallow water.<br />

<h3>Sotavento Lagoon kitesurfing wind conditions</h3><p>There is wind year round but the main kitesurfing season for Sotavento Lagoon is from May until September, when the wind averages 20-30 knots and the temperature sits around 20-25?. It can some days get up to 40 knots here so definitely pack a small kite in your bag! The water is generally flat in the lagoon with some chop when the wind really picks up, so it’s a great place to learn kitesurfing and practice. The wind can be gusty as it comes over the land, and some areas are better than others, but since there is so much space you can always find your perfect kiteboarding spot!</p><p>The lagoon is split up into various kitesurfing areas, with areas for beginners/teaching and separate ones for advanced kitesurfers, so check the areas before you head out. The local schools can give you the rundown of where you should be kitesurfing depending on your level.</p><h3>Around the kite spot Sotavento Lagoon</h3><p>You’ll find bars and restaurants in nearby Costa Calma, and since there are generally a load of other kitesurfers and windsurfers it can get quite lively in the evening, but it’s a pretty chilled destination for the most part. If you fancy a change then Corallejo in the North of Fuerteventura offers more nightlife and parties.</p><p>The island itself offers some spectacular natural sights, with a number of stunning beaches and vistas to explore. The Lobos volcano is a nice day out if you need to relax your sore muscles from all the kitesurfing, and you can book a ferry or a day trip through any of the local accommodations or tour guides.</p><h3>How to get to Sotavento Lagoon and how to move there&nbsp;</h3><p>Fly into Fuerteventura airport (FUE) and then either take a taxi or rent a car yourself.

<p>Sotavento lagoon is a huge lagoon on the Canary island of Fuerteventura which only fills on high tides, so check the charts before you plan your trip to make sure there will be water here during the day!

It’s been a windsurfing and kitesurfing mecca for many years now and with short flights from Europe, warm weather and great food it’s easy to see why.</p>

<h3>Kitesurfing wind conditions in Famara</h3><p>Famara Beach is the main spot on Lanzarote with the most consistent winds for kitesurfing and easiest access for kitesurfers of all levels. The best (and luckily most common) direction for the wind is from the North and the best tides are low to mid, as at high tide the beach is narrow and the water is more choppy. In the summer season from May to September the trade winds known as Los Alisios blow across Lanzarote from the northeast. During this time the wind averages between 10 and 25 knots most days, and Famara beach picks up the Atlantic swell making it a perfect place to practice your wave riding on a sandy beach break. You’ll find more consistent waves for surfing in the winter season but the wind won’t be as predictable. A summer wetsuit or a shorty will be ideal here in summer, with something like 4/3 better for winter.</p><p>The Northern end of Famara beach has more stones and rocks on the beach and in the water so is recommended for more experienced riders only, but the Southern end is soft sand and perfect for anyone learning that might need to walk up the beach a few times. At low tide there is a larger area where you can stand in the water, making this the ideal time for beginners to learn kitesurfing, and there are multiple kite schools in the area who can get you up and riding.</p><h3>Around the kitesurf spot Famara</h3><p>La Caleta de Famara (the local town) has that natural sense about it, surrounded by wilderness and still has gravel paths, as yet untouched by mass tourism. Travelers can concentrate on the beauty of Mother Nature because there are no businesses other than kite schools, bars, restaurants, and grocery stores. One of the reasons people enjoy this sandy oasis is that it is devoid of the usual tourist trappings. This side of the island and the beach is one of the most picturesque in the entire area. Risco de Famara is the cliff which dominates the entire west coast of Lanzarote and watches over the kite spot at Famara. There are several cliffs including the island's highest peak as well as incredible panoramas, the most popular of which is Mirador del Rio. It looks like a roaring and soaring wave rises above the beach at Famara.</p><h3>How to get to Famara and how to move there</h3><p>Closest Airport to the Spot is Lanzarote Airport (ACE), about half an hours drive. The nearest Town is Caleta de Famara. Public transport is generally not great but it is possible to get the bus to Famara. However we’d recommend renting a car and being able to move around yourself, as not everything is within easy walking distance on Lanzarote.</p>

<p>With huge cliffs overlooking the beach, steady trade winds through the summer and surf all year round it’s no wonder people are taking notice of Famara for kitesurfing and surfing. Peak Season for kiteboarding in Famara is in June, July and August but it can be done any time of year, you’ll just want a thicker wetsuit in the winter. The beach of Famara is home to multiple kite schools which teach kitesurfing. There are no obstacles in the ocean, no rocks or reefs: only infinite beaches and sandy beach breaks. In addition, the wind and waves are onshore so they tend to bring you back safely to the beach, so there are no major concerns. When you arrive, you'll find a massive beach spread along a curved beach and offers stunning views of the hulking seaside cliffs, the white-washed village of Farmara and the wind-whipped surf which has made this beach so popular among kitesurfers.</p>

<p>Sant Pere Pescador is the main kitesurf spot of the whole
bay. A wide sandy beach gives you pleasant conditions to practice kitesurfing
all year round. The water is flat till 20 meters offshore and becomes choppy
with the blowing wind. As the kite spot is free of stones or rocks, kitesurfers
often flock in on weekends from spring to summer. The place is suitable for all
kinds of kiteboarders, from beginner to advanced. There is a Kite Expert Zone
to allow a safe environment for the kitesurfers and other beach strollers. The
best time of year to come surfing here is from June till September.</p><h3>Kitesurfing wind conditions in Sant Pere Pescador</h3><p></p><p>The kitesurf spot Sant Pere Pescador bears the strong
Tramuntana wind from the Pyrenees. During the summer months, the sea breeze
flows from the southeast, gradually speeding up during the day. You can expect
the wind to go up from 12 to 20 knots, but the gusts can go up to 30 knots.
Many of the thermal wind dominant kite spots like Sant Pere Pescador have
localized wind systems that are much smaller. Most wind statistics you see are
historical “forecasts” that can’t account for smaller localized winds. The
forecasts do not accurately capture the strength of localized winds. Hence, if
you plan to fly off to Sant Pere Pescador, gather wind information from local
kite schools or centers.</p><h3>Around the kite spot, Sant Pere Pescador</h3><p></p><p>The kite schools offer courses for both beginners and
intermediates to excel at kiteboarding. To obtain lessons from the kite school,
plan your trip during the summer. Kite schools are closed during winter. If you
are an experienced kitesurfer, just rent your kite gear from the surf shop and
set forth to the sea. No need to fear; there is a medical center here. If there
is a lack of wind, you can rent a paddleboard and voyage through the Fluviá
River or stop to fish. You can rent a bike to wander the coastline. There are a
few points for spotting birds at the beach. Among the land sports, here you can
go hiking and horse riding. The choice of apartments on the island is diverse.
But the kiters usually pick campsites on the beach to stay close to the sea at
all times. There are various camping sites south of Empuriabrava. After a good
kitesurfing session, gather for a drink and have dinner. Finally, at the end of
the day, set your camp beneath the bright moon.</p><h3>How to get to Sant Pere Pescador and how to move there</h3><p></p><p>











</p><p>From Girona–Costa Brava Airport, take a train to
Figueres. From here, rent a car and drive to St. Pere Pescador. Although there
is little public transport available, we recommend you rent a car for your
freedom.</p>

<p>Towards the northern end of the Costa Brava in Spain,

city and brings a plethora of authentic natural beauty to the kite spot. Sant
Pere Pescador keeps a good balance between land and sea. With the greens and
yellows of its orchards, and the blue water with golden sand beaches, the place
stands as a hidden treasure. Crossing the bay in a hydrofoil with gentle and

Watch out for the swimming zones. In high season June-August kitesurfing is not allowed closed to the beach. To enter the water go more up north.

<h3>Kitesurfing wind conditions in Empuriabrava</h3><p>In summer side-onshore thermal breezes blow from the right throughout the day, gradually increasing in intensity. The thermal winds will be steady at 12 to 13 knots, and occasionally picking up to hit 18-20 knots, so pretty ideal for kitesurfing. When the Tramuntana wind comes from the North or North West, it blows day and night and becomes powerful and gusty close to shore. This generally happens more in the winter months but can happen any time of year so keep your eyes on the forecast. Kitesurfing in these conditions is not for beginners, especially if it does blow cross offshore as the wind can be very gusty close to the beach. For advanced riders the water close to the beach is nice and flat for boosting big air though, and a little further out you can get perfect little kickers as the swell rolls in.</p><p>The Empuriabrava kitesurf spot is a thermal wind spot so wind&nbsp;forecasts are not always 100% reliable, so it’s a good idea to reach out to the local&nbsp;kite schools, check their homepages or contact them directly to get more accurate wind information before your trip.</p><h3>Around the kiteboard spot Empuriabrava</h3><p>Spending a day in the nature of Aiguamolls de l'Emporda is a good choice if you want to get away from everything. It is Catalonia's most extensive collection of lakes and wetlands, and it was designated as a protected natural park in the mid-80s. The park is open all year for anyone to visit and explore its pathways. It's a terrific place for tired kitesurfers to spend a day in the outdoors, and its home to over 300 bird species, including the Red-naped ibis, cormorant, common blackbird, and iconic great egret.</p><p>Empuriabrava, Girona's small Venecia, can be visited on days when there are no winds. A broad range of activities are available, including go-kart racing, shopping, and artificial wave surfing. Cadaqués, L'Escala, and Empries are the most incredible places to visit if you love sightseeing.&nbsp;</p><p>Another option is the Camino Natural de la Muga which is a 40-kilometer bicycle track that runs alongside the river La Muga. The route begins at Empuriabrava beach and takes you through various landscapes, including the Parc Natural dels Aiguamolls de l'Emporda, the Salinas region, and Sant Llorenç de la Murga.&nbsp;</p><h3>How to get to Empuriabrava and how to bring it about while you're there</h3><p>The nearest international airport to Empuriabrava is Perpignan (PGF), and there are train links to Barcelona and other nearby cities, but for local transit the easiest is to have your own car/van, which you can book in advance to rent from the airport.</p>

<p>Empuriabrava is a luxurious city on the Costa Brava, boasting medieval villages, beaches, and a world-renowned historical heritage. The city boasts approximately 25 kilometers of sailable water, making it Europe's most significant residential harbor. Kitesurfing can be done all year on a large, sandy beach. Three official kiteboarding zones may be found here, as kitesurfing in peak season should only be done in specific locations. The best time to visit for lessons&nbsp;is between April and October, as none of the kite schools in the area are open during the winter, but advanced riders are welcome any time.</p>

<h3>Kitesurfing wind conditions in Los Lances</h3><p>Tarifa is a windy destination most of the year but the best chance for wind is between April and October, with two main wind directions. The Poniente wind blows onshore and is slightly lighter around 10-25 knots, which is the ideal wind direction for learning to kitesurf. The levante wind blows cross offshore and can get really strong and gusty up to 40 knots, so definitely more suited to advanced kiteboarders. In peak season it gets really busy, so for learning to kite it’s definitely better to avoid the middle of summer, particularly July and August. You’ll want a wetsuit all year round, and the water here ranges from choppy to wavey depending on the wind direction and strength.</p><h3>Around the kite spot Los Lances</h3><p>Tarifa has a lot to do other than kitesurfing, which is part of the reason why it’s still a hugely popular destination for European kitesurfers. If you want to eat good food you’re in the right place, there are tons of restaurants and cafes offering something for everyone, and there are bars offering parties until the early hours of the morning. If you want to stay healthy and look after your body there are plenty of yoga studios and gyms, along with organic food to be found all over. Other than that you can surf, hike, climb, mountain bike, or just wander around the local shops in town for hours on end.</p><h3>How to get to Los Lances and how to move there&nbsp;</h3><p>Gibraltar (GIB) is the closest airport around 45 minutes drive from Los Lances, but you’ll often find cheaper flights to Malaga (AGP) if you don’t mind the slightly longer 2 hour drive. The absolute best option wherever you fly to is to rent a car, as you’ll need a car to reach all the spots around Tarifa. Luckily rental cars are generally pretty cheap in Spain, so it’s not a huge extra expense, and worth it to have your own transport if you want to explore the local area some more. Just don’t leave valuables in the car when kiting as Tarifa is known for some theft at the spots.</p>

<p>Los Lances is one of the four main beaches for kitesurfing in Tarifa, about 3km from town itself.&nbsp;Tarifa is one of the original kitesurfing meccas and still attracting hordes of beginners, intermediates and pro riders to this day. During the summer there will be kite zones set out along the beach so it’s important to try and abide by the rules, but once you are in the water you can enjoy kiteboarding in the open ocean. Tarifa is known for being one of the windiest kite spots in Europe, so there’s a good reason people still flock there in huge numbers, but it can be horrendously busy in peak season so if you prefer untouched empty beaches from your kite holidays this might not be for you. The conditions here aren’t necessarily the best kitesurfing wise, but people return year on year for the mix of kiteboarding and the local vibe.</p>
