Choppy with Levante (East), waves with Poniente (West) which can be up to 3m (mainly winter and spring). Depending on tide and direction of wind, there can be a small lagoon, which is nice for beginners or flat water tricks. High frequented spot in high-season (up to 150 kiters) but nice in low and off-season (30-50).
In spring and autumn a shorty or long sleeve, depending on the weather. In summer shortsuit, in winter a long one is necessary. High-season from Eastern to August, low season rest of the year.
The wind changes from Poniente (West) to Levante (East) in general every few days, guess the best rate can be up to 60-70% days with more than 4 Bft per month in summer. Best direction is definitely ESE. When wind is forecasted from East, it´s possible that the wind will come into the bay (ESE) because of the mountains and geographic effects.
From Tarifa to Cadiz after 8-10 km on the left side there is Playa Las Dunas. Follow the small dirt road at the signs Las Dunas (`Spin Out`). At the end of the road you can park for free and only a few meters to the beach. A car needed if you don´t live next to the beach.
No fees. Safety, as naturally, like everywhere else, too. You have to get used to being careful and taking attention, because space sometimes becomes small. Be prepared: some rough locals or other heroes don´t consider others and show reckless behavior.
