About Zoopark Rental & School

Known for kitesurfing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces N, so wind from the S blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline). Facts: verified.

Water about 23°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.

A spot for kitesurfing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing N. Wind from the N blows onshore, wind from the S blows out to sea, and wind from the E or W runs along the shore. It is exposed to the open sea. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 300 m out (1 in 28). The sea is about 19°C in January, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 23°C in August, its warmest (2 mm shorty). For kitesurfing at intermediate level the best month is usually July, with about 6 good days in 7; in January, October and December, about 2. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Famara. Within 5 km we also list 3 surf spots and 1 wind sports spot.

Day scores are the conditions out of 80. Wind is the day's best reading: the mean and the gusts in knots (10 kn is about 19 km/h); the arrow points where it blows to. Shore: "side" is side-shore, blowing along the beach, the safe way; "side-on" and "on" blow in towards it; "cross-off" and "off" blow out to sea, and offshore scores nothing for kite and windsurf. Water is the open sea's waves near the spot: flat under 0.3 m, chop to 0.8 m.

Typical, not a forecast. Reanalysis wind misses some local thermal winds, so a spot known for an afternoon breeze may do better than this.
