This little paradise, only about 14km from Africa, is one of the windiest places in Europe. The spot under the Andalusian sun doesn’t just give you awesome wind strength, but is also warm during the winter, thus, making Tarifa one of the only all-year-round locations in Europe!

Since 2014 you will find a new place to be. The Pro Center with bar & lounge is located directly on the beach. This is the perfect location to kite, chill out, eat and much more.

Tarifa

Welcome to tarifa

In the summer, you can meet tan, relaxed kiters in the city or on the beach and head out to the bars at night and have a San Miguel or two. Tarifa at night is an experience in itself. The little bars pop out of their unique Andalusian atmosphere meshing with the casual kitesurfer and surfer lifestyle.

Also, there are four airports operated by different airlines around Tarifa in Malaga, Sevilla, Gibraltar and Jerez. This makes the little Andalusian city one of the best and most cost-effective kitesurfing spots.

+ NEW 2014: Opening of the Best Pro Center by Gisela Pulido directly on the beach + Learn to kitesurf at the kite station of a ninefold world champion + Spanish lifestyle and epic nightlife + High wind probability and mild climate only a few hours away + Great community feeling in the KiteWorldWide Town House

KITESURFING IN TARIFA Tarifa is located on the Strait of Gibraltar where the Atlantic and the Mediterranean meet and Europe and Africa are at some points only 14 km away from one another. Due to the strait and the ocean currents, this area is especially warm—which has a jet effect and increases the wind.

In Tarifa and the surrounding area, there are tons of spots with different conditions for all kitesurf levels. Of course, it’s also possible to kitesurf at places other than our main spot. The KiteWorldWide team is here for you and would love to give you some tips!

Our main spot in Tarifa is at the Los Lances beach. The kite center is located close to the rio Jara, going out of town. Just in front of the center, there is a wide open beach area for your ultimate kite pleasure. The beach is one of the most beautiful in southern Spain. Here the sand is dazzlingly white and fine—as opposed to other beaches in the south. Two small rivers run parallel to the beach and make small lagoons for kitesurfing at high tide.

KiteSCHULE

The new kite school by Gisela Pulido, the several-time world kitesurfing champion, is located directly on the beach with a beautiful view overlooking the lagoon as far as the beach Los Lances. Close to the Rio Jara, going out of town on the left side, you will find an extensive beach lounge with lots of possibilities to sit, linger and chill out, with a beach volleyball field and nice showers.

In addition, you will a bar restaurant with very good Spanish cuisine, inspired by the Moroccan style of cooking. There is also a surf shop and of course, Best equipment and replacement parts.

All of Giselas’ students meet for a coffee at the center. If the wind is on, you can strap on your board right away, otherwise you can enjoy your time during volleyball, SUP, surfing, yoga and lots more.

KURSE The Kite courses are held under IKO guidelines (buddy-system) and the instructors speak several languages​​. The kite spot is located directly in front of the Best Pro Center Tarifa.

There are courses for beginners, intermediates and advanced kiters.

Our new premium kitesurf courses guarantee an even faster learning success. Many additional activities, an alternative programme, tours and our weekly Barbecue night are already included in the pirce.

MATERIAL The kite school has all of the latest equipment from Best.

What kite sizes do I have to bring?

+ 7qm – 12qm (most used kite size is 9qm)

THE SPOT

The kite spot is located directly in front of the Best Pro Center Tarifa. The wide open beach area is perfect for schooling and gives all the other kiters enough space to go crazy on the water.

In Tarifa, on the Costa de la Luz, there are different classes of winds. The best known are the levante and the poniente.

The levante is a strong, warm wind from the east. It can work itself up to a wind speed of 8 Bft after a few days, but is usually around 6-7 Bft. The poniente is the best wind for kitesurfers. It blows at a wind speed of about 6 Bft from the west onshore side to the city beach and is a little cooler than the levante. Thanks to this wind, the temperature in Tarifa stays pretty nice in the middle of the summer. A little farther out to sea, it carries small swells with it.
