Forecast and webcams

Before you go

Forecasts often disagree. When Windguru, ALADIN and Windy agree, it is worth going.

Tips for this spot

Offshore wind carries you away from land. Do not ride it without a rescue boat.
When a storm is coming, get out of the water and land the kite at once. Gusts before a storm are violent and a kite overhead is the highest point around.
New spot: ask locals about shallows, currents and where people launch.

In riders' own words

„Wind: Levante“
„Level: Expert“
„This spot is located about 4km out in the ocean if you go on a straight line (and slightly upwind) from Valdevaqueros beach.“
„You should Park in Valdevaqueros and ride a little bit upwind before going.“
„if something happens to you, you're basically in the middle of the ocean so if you go, always do so with a rescue boat or service.“
„It's an aera with lower depht what creates a lot of messy waves when the tide starts to go down.“
„Wind is super steady and stronger than in Valdevaqueros... Downwind of the waves, there's a flat water area which is nice for freestyle.“
„It's important to go when you know the wind will not go down, tide starting to go down and a few friends. Also it's good to have rescue service“
