With Levante nice waves roll into the bay. Can be very clean, best wave conditions from the Andalucia region. When it is high tide a shore break is possible. Size can go up to 3m. Every Tarifa local will be surfing there when conditions are perfect. At low tide the reef comes out.
Air in winter 20°C, in summer between 25 and 35°C. Water between 18°C in winter and 23°C in summer. Winter long wetsuit, summer shorty or shorts, rest of year shorty.
Best when there is too much wind in Tarifa (Levante conditions = SE). Always 1-2 Bft less than Tarifa. When you have Poniente wind (NW) conditions are flat, it will be better in Tarifa or Bologna. On kitebeach SE is onshore.
Comming from "Tarifa" follow E5 direction "Cadiz". Follow it until you are in "Vejer de la Frontera", there "Barbate" and "Los Canos de Meca" is indicated. Spot is located near to the lighthouse. You can only go by car (about 1 hour drive).
Special windsurf and kitesurf zones. You have to be an experienced kiter or windsurfer! Watch out for the reef located in front of the small apartments. Especially with high and up coming tide! When it is low tide the reef is clearly visible also be careful close to the side anyway! To avoid this go on the water closer to the lighthouse. There you will find a water sport zone.
