Regions in Spain

Costa Brava Sur & Barcelona

If you like a bit more culture with your nightlife, drive on to the beaches of Costa Brava Sur & Barcelona. In spring and summer, Garbí’s also the common wind here for freeride (with light-wind kit) or kiting (where permitted). Winds are ...

Costa Dorada & Ebro Delta

If you’d rather kite legally in summer, you’re better off packing up and moving on towards the Costa Dorada & Ebro Delta. This nature reserve with its vast paddy fields is one of the Spanish Mediterranean’s windiest areas. In spring and ...

Costa del Azahar, Valencia

The spots in and north of Valencia also make it more of an autumn or winter destination – Levante can mean wave sessions in Port Saplaya or Pobla Farnals (Costa del Azahar, Valencia ). In summer it’s better south of the city, as the Garbí ...

Costa Blanca, Alicante

The thermal Leveche (southerly) is also the standard summer wind along the ultra-touristy coast of Costa Blanca, Alicante, where hotel resorts like Benidorm enjoy a somewhat dubious reputation. Because it rarely breaks Force 4, places like El Altet ...

Costa Cálida & Mar Menor

Poniente’s mainly offshore and therefore unsuitable in Alicante – but it’s great in Costa Cálida & Mar Menor, where you can score nice wave sessions in the Calblanque nature reserve. It gets really good in Levante, with clean cross-shore ...

Costa del Sol, Almería

Moving towards Costa del Sol, Almería, the tourist developments gradually give way to nature reserves, fishing villages and the foothills of the Sierra Nevada whose snow-covered peaks still sparkle in the sun as late as Easter. Especially at Cabo ...

Costa del Sol, Málaga

The spots at the Costa del Sol, Málaga are similar. Thermal Levante or Poniente invariably mean light-wind or moderate conditions in summer. At best in winter they can deliver more than big chop – especially Poniente offers the chance of a few ...

Strait of Gibraltar, Algeciras

The spots of the Strait of Gibraltar, Algeciras have a distinctly industrial mood. If you prefer a more natural vibe, either stop before you get there or drive on to Tarifa. These spots are great alternatives when Levante gets too much in Tarifa ...

Strait of Gibraltar, Tarifa

Tarifa– the kite and windsurfing capital of Europe! Incredible wind stats and a chilled-out lifestyle have attracted countless wind-junkies to set up home in this little Andalusian fishing town (Strait of Gibraltar, Tarifa ). There are more ...

Costa de la Luz, Cádiz

Prime time for the Costa de la Luz, Cádiz is winter and spring as Atlantic lows pass over the Gulf of Cádiz, when clean waves (up to mast-high) break on beaches like Punta Candor and Cortadura. Southerly wind blows cross-shore from the left, ...

Costa de la Luz, Huelva

Beyond Cádiz to the Portuguese border, Costa de la Luz, Huelva 's coastline isn’t just a haven for sun-hungry tourists in identical apartment complexes; dunes and lagoons in protected deltas are a breeding ground for endangered species of birds. ...

Basque Country

Some legendary surf-spots make a trip to the Basque Country worthwhile. Just seeing Meñakoz or Mundaka on a good day is an unforgettable experience. You might even get to surf one of these perfect walls of water. But you’ll need superb timing to ...

Cantabria

If relying on good luck for wind isn’t your idea of fun, you’ll have a better time in Cantabria . Spain’s answer to Switzerland is all mountains, dark pines, and lush fields bathed in sunshine… The snow-capped Picos de Europa plunge into the ...

Asturia

The climate and landscape are broadly similar in the neighbouring region of Asturia the mountains just get higher and the coastline more rugged and wild. A small kite and windsurf scene tends to meet on beaches in and around Gijón, but also on ...

Galicia, Rias Altas

The ultimate wind and wave combination can be found in Galicia. Galicia, Rias Altas and [[REGION-249]] contain some of Spain’s best breaks such as Doniños, San Xorxe, Valdoviño and Traba. When a stable Azores High and a strong heat low over ...

Galicia, Rias Baixas

At which point, the funnel-shaped estuaries of Galicia, Rias Baixas are the perfect alternative for gentler conditions. You might score a few summer waves in places, but the deep inlets on this fjord-like coastline are predominantly first-class ...
