Kitesurfing conditions in Famara beach, Lanzarote
Years ago Famara beach was famous only for surfing. There was no activity in other sports. Maybe windsurfing but conditions can be pretty hard with big swell and shore break. Than kitesurfers came and found out that with NE Alisios trade wind, 6 km long sandy beach, Famare is the perfect spot to practice kitesurf (wave or freestyle kiteboarding). The trade winds blow at their strongest and are more constant in the summer time (from March until August) so you might get more chance to enjoy the breeze during the whole duration of your stay. Also during the winter time you can get awesome wind combined with some good waves to enjoy your kitesurfing session and adrenaline-fueled fun. The best time to ride during the day is with low to mid tide.
Kitesurfing in Famara beach
The regulation of the beach divided Famara into different parts for swimmers only, surfing and kitesurfing zones.The allocated kiting zone is from around the middle of the beach to the northern end. This part of the beach is accessible via a driveable track which goes behind the bungalows or just walking along the beach. There are flags that mark the kitesurfing zone and you will probably see kitesurfers there already. You can just choose your own favorite spot. There is enough space for everyone and usually the beach is not crowded at all. Sometimes happens that you are the only rider in the water. Somewhere on the middle of the bay also Kitesurfing school Lanzarote has their place. When the wind changes and blows southerly, then it’s time to head off to the beach at Playa Honda on the other side of the island. Waves will be smaller but there should be opportunities to get the occasional jump and to practice free style.
