WINDSURFING

Los Caños:(in front of the apartments) Acces to the beach is good. Beware of sharp rocks at low tide. Sailing beyond Traflagar point can be hazardous. . Conditions are best when there is a westerly levante wind.

Los Caños (bay):Low winds effect take off until you are approx. 100m offshore.
This is a good place to learn how to windsurf. People can be a hazard when the beach is busy.

Trafalgar beach: Here you will find strong headland currents and dangerous currents on the other side of the isthmus. Northerly winds provide best sailing.

El Palmar beach: Not many people windsurf here.
A strong levante (Easterly) wind can provide fast sailing in flat waters.

Tarifa: Surfers from all over the world head for Tarifa all throughout the year. Tarifa is located where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean at the Southern most point of mainland Europe. It is also the exact point where the "Poniente" (harsh west wind) meets the "Levante" from the east.
These winds make Tarifa one of Europe´s premier windsurfing spots.

It´s not really an ideal place for beginners because the winds can be very strong. You can rent windsurfing equipment from one of the many surf schools attached to major hotels.
