Kitesurfing at Tarifa - Playa de los Lances
CHECKING WIND
Medium waves
Intermediate
Playa de los Lances is Tarifa's main kite beach, a long stretch of white sand at the meeting point of the Mediterranean and the Atlantic. The spot works in both the strong easterly Levante and the steadier westerly Poniente, which is why Tarifa is called the wind capital of Europe. Busy in summer, with kite schools everywhere.
Best wind directions: E, W
