Windguru Tarifawind forecast for kitesurfing

How to read the wind in Tarifa

Checking the forecast is one of the best ways to prepare a kitesurf session in Tarifa, but looking at a single number is not enough. To understand what the riding conditions might be like, you need to watch how the wind evolves and what conditions come with it.

In tools like Windguru you will mainly find four pieces of data worth checking: wind speed, gusts, wind direction and how it changes throughout the day.

Putting these together gives you a much more realistic idea of the conditions you may find on the water. In Tarifa, the wind direction can also change the riding conditions considerably depending on where you are going to ride.

The wind and choosing your spot in Tarifa

In Tarifa, knowing the wind strength is not enough to decide where to ride. The direction, the state of the sea and the conditions at each beach can make one spot more suitable than another.

Your riding level matters too. Conditions that feel comfortable for an experienced rider are not necessarily what someone who is just starting out, or still consolidating their riding, needs.

That is why, before choosing where to get in the water, it pays to match the forecast with the characteristics of each area.
