Tarifa is famous for two prevailing winds that blow through the Straits of Gibraltar. The Levante from the south-east is most common in Summer when it can blow for weeks, day and night. It is generally stronger, warmer and produces flatter conditions. The westerly Poniente comes in from the Atlantic, is cooler and can bring waves. The mountainous terrain and other elements such as the temperature difference between the Atlantic and Mediterranean, high and low pressure, are the cause of winds in Tarifa. As well there is a thermal effect that usually means the wind is strongest in the afternoon. Ideal for party animals. Beginners kitesurfing courses start at 10am! Conditions can change rapidly and a gentle force 3/4 can be a 6 to 7 within half an hour.
