Andalusia, Spain

Distance

8 km

Difficulty

Advanced

Typical duration

30–45 minutes, advanced pace

Best wind

Levante — E (80–110°)

How this leg runs

Tarifa's Levante run, riding the strong easterly that funnels through the Strait of Gibraltar toward Valdevaqueros. Short in distance, demanding in intensity — the strait accelerates and gusts this wind in ways the open coast doesn't.

Safety notes

Shipping lane separation. Levante can be very gusty near the strait. Stay inside the coast, avoid crossing shipping lanes.

Rescue & exits

Rescue boat available at Tarifa kite club. Emergency: Spanish coast guard channel 16.
