Tarifa Los Lances is a nice wide and 2.5km long strip of beach, with wind almost everyday. Levante is cross-offshore. Cross-onshore Poniente is much safer and ideal for kiting. Freestyle spot for experienced windsurfers and kiters in winter. Conditions are good for beginners especially in summertime when the beach break is small.
