Complete Guide to the Lagoon Kitesurf Spot in Tarifa

At the La Charca or Tarifa lagoon spot, it is important to note first that kitesurfing is strictly prohibited within the area marked by stakes, as it is a protected natural site. Only outside this zone, in the surroundings of Tarifa and only during very high tide coefficients, can a rideable area form where kitesurfing is possible.

With Levante wind conditions, the wind is usually strong and gusty, making the spot more demanding. With Poniente, riders typically use medium to large kites depending on wind strength.
