Why Riders Love It
When the wind is blowing from the Northeast it's offshore. Good to kite there with sideshore wind from the left when is blowing from the East and there is no wind in Sotavento, and sideonshore from the right when is blowing from the South. The best time is from 13.00 to 16.00. The wind is better if you go to the right side of the beach because there is a little mountain at the left side. In summer is always offshore but from October to March there are some days that is good for kitesurf with sideshore wind. This spot works when the wind came from the East and from the South. Sotavento is about 16 km to the south and many times with those wind directions there is no wind in Sotavento and there is wind in Tarajalejo. Usual kites 12m+.
