Where to windsurf in Corralejo

In the north of Fuerteventura, beginners learn to windsurf in the Playa del Río lagoon: flat water, no waves and no currents, so the first days go into sail control instead of survival. According to the local school, conditions are good all year; the wind is more constant in summer and less present from November to March, and the second half of October and the first weeks of November have the highest chance of a day with no wind at all. Kids can start from age 7 in the calm, shallow El Cotillo lagoon.
