Kitesurfing in Andalusia mostly begins in Tarifa on the Costa de la Luz. This is the absolute kitesurfing hotspot in Europe. Tarifa is located on the Strait of Gibraltar exactly where the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean meet and around this most southerly point of Spain and Europe, two powerful winds blow: the Levante and the Poniente. This wind in combination with the wonderful climate make Tarifa such an ideal place for wind and kite surfing, attracting surfers from all over the world.

The wind is most constant between the months of May and October, making it the best time for kite surfing. In addition to the quality of the wind, the weather is also the best in this period. In the summer keep in mind it can get very busy.
