Weather Tarifa

Average days per month when wind is Force 4 beaufort or above:

We generally only need a force 2 to learn to kite surf!

Tarifa has two prevailing winds, the Levante and the Poniente. The Levante is the big boy, it blows night and day and can last for weeks, because it blows from the land it is warmer and does not generally form waves, perfect for mastering that water start. The Poniente blows from the Atlantic, it is a clean, constant wind generally a little lighter than the levante and brings pleasant weather and waves. Which is great for preparing you for conditions back home (not necessarily the pleasant weather part!) and boosting you confidence levels. Both winds blow year round with the levante being the dominant wind in the summer and the Poniente in the winter. Whatever the weather Tarifa is the kite surf Mecca of Europe for a very good reason...its windier more consistently than anywhere else!
