Kitesurf Famara.
Kitesurfing on Famara beach.
Famara beach is an ideal playground for kitesurfers of all levels. Summer is the time when winds are most consistent and waves smaller and more manageable. Low tide is considered the best for kitesurfing. At low tide the shallow waters go on for further making very smooth water. Further out lay waves for the more experienced rider. If you particular interest in wave riding then Famara has a lot to offer. Just tack a few hundred metres up wind on the 4km long beach then have a great downwind carving, wave riding, blast.
Some parts of the beach can get a little busy but if you just want to kite in peace then park a couple of hundred metres along and you will have the place to yourself.

Low tide is the best time to practice the sport. This is when there is a lot of beach showing and therefore plenty of room. The water remains shallow and therefore smooth up until the waves start breaking.
