Southern Fuerteventura is one of the windiest locations in the Canary Islands due to the geography of the land and mountains inland, creating the 'venturi' effect, like a bottle nose, accelerating the wind out over the beach. The wind here blows all year but is especially extremely strong in the summer months. Prevailing wind direction is off shore - Rescue and safety services are second to none for our recommended spots

There are really three main Kitesurfing areas in Southern Fuerteventura, these are Costa Calma (the main tourist area with many hotels and a superb watersport centre), Sotavento (home to one of the largest Kitesurf centres in the world and the Melia Hotel) and Risco Del Paso (a more isolated Kitesurf spot but with far less gusty conditions than Sotavento). This really is an amazing windsurf location, with the kitesurf schools all at a very high standard stocking the latest range of equipment. Wingfoiling and Windsurfing is also possible at these spots.

It is best to call Planet Kitesurf Holidays if you are not sure which location is best for you, and we can walk you through the location. As always our advice is unbiased and honest based on over 20 years arranging kitesurf holidays to Fuerteventura.
