The spot
Wind
Tarifa gets wind on more than 300 days a year, driven by two dominant winds: the warm Levante from the east, which can blow 24 hours a day for weeks, and the lighter, cleaner Poniente from the west.
Waves
Levante wind rarely creates waves, while Poniente typically brings wave-friendly conditions.
