Weather & Wind
Tarifa is world-famous as the wind capital of Europe. Sitting on the narrow Strait of Gibraltar, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea, it delivers wind almost all year round – over 300 days a year.
There are two dominant winds:
Levante: a strong, dry east wind that can blow for days, creating perfect conditions for big air and experienced kiters.
Poniente: a milder west wind that feels cooler and more stable, ideal for freestyle and laid-back sessions.
With more than 300 sunny days a year, pleasant temperatures, and guaranteed wind, Tarifa is the place where you’ll always find yourself on the water. The perfect setting for your kite holiday Tarifa.

First time travelling with KiteActive to Sicily. I’ve had a really great time. Even if i can kite already and do some tricks here and there, the instructors gave some nice tips and newer tricks to practice on. The kitespots were spot on!
On no-wind days there was always something organized, wakeboarding behind the boat, another boat trip and snorkeling, going to an old city, etcetera, and you also have the freedom to explore at your own pace.
You’re also not alone, staying with an collected group at the place which makes it more pleasant!
Thanks again KiteActive for the amazing stay!!

Just back from the Wadden Weekend Kite Trip with KiteActive, and wow, what an awesome weekend! 🌊🪁
Everything was super well arranged, the food was absolutely amazing, and the vibes were super chill. We had great wind conditions, and the progression sessions were epic.
What really stood out was how much time the guys took to explain things and help us push our kiting skills further. You could really feel they wanted to see everyone progress, and that made it even more fun and motivating.
Great people, great vibes, good food, good wind, can’t ask for more. Already looking forward to the next one!

Yallah habibi, what an epic week this was! Just got back from Egypt after my second kite holiday with KiteActive — and once again, absolutely worth repeating!
The spot is amazing: you can walk straight from your hotel room onto the (kite) beach. The collaboration with Kitelagoon Hurghada was top-notch — we were fully taken care of (pumping kites, launching and landing, chill tunes on the beach, warm tea during breaks). Everything was perfectly arranged by KiteActive as well — from a group chat and quick replies to any questions, to thinking along about boardbags and capturing awesome (action) shots!
We also had such a fun group (which of course KiteActive can’t fully control), but it made the week even better. On the — luckily only two — windless days, we went wakeboarding, snorkeling, and just enjoyed the resort to the fullest. Under the always cheerful (and super experienced) supervision of Roderick, this week was not only super fun but also incredibly educational — what a legend he is!
Beginner or advanced: I recommend going on a trip with KiteActive to everyone — you won’t regret it 🙂 Let’s go!

Top locations — I’ve joined trips to Brazil and Rhodes! Everything was super well organized, with a chilled vibe, awesome people, and relaxed but spot-on coaching. You get tips & tricks for both beginners and independent riders. And there’s even a photographer joining to capture your progress with epic (drone) shots. Highly recommended!
Just got back from Sicily too — such an incredible spot. And that Italian food from our own chef… buonissimo!!
Mirte L
Had an amazing week in Sicily! A super fun group and enthusiastic, friendly guidance from KiteActive. Even when there’s no wind, they always line up awesome activities. Definitely recommended!
Valentijn Munsterman
Wat een chille gasten zijn dit! Op madnes meerdere clinics bij ze gevolgd en hier en daar een dansje met ze gedaan. Zeer zeker aan te raden!
Bart Biermans
Wat een mooie ervaring. Na een aantal lessen in Nederland heb ik tijdens mijn Kite Acitve vakantie op Sicilie de eindjes aan elkaar kunnen knopen. Van de 6 dagen hebben we 5 dagen op het water gestaan. Goede begeleiding, heerlijk eten en een prachtige locatie direct aan de Kite spot. Ik ga zeker dit jaar nog een keer met ze mee, dit keer naar Brazilië, die bekend staat om zijn down winders. Dit smaakt naar meer!
Sandra te Loo

Tot de volgende!

The trip
Go with the flow
As a kitesurfer, you live with the wind — you ride when the waves and tides line up. That’s exactly how it goes on our trips. You go with the flow. And with us, the flow is… the Wind!
In Tarifa, it’s about so much more than just kiting: you become part of an amazing kite community. Together with people on your level, we chase the best wind and waves every day. With premium CORE Kiteboarding test gear at your fingertips and the full KiteActive team on-site with vans and campers in winter, you can count on top guidance and coaching.
Every evening we make a plan for the next day. After a full day on the water, we enjoy good food, share stories and sessions, review video analyses, and run Big Air training.
No wind? No problem! Tarifa has endless options: mountain biking, climbing, hiking, or even horseback riding on the beach. For those who like it, we start the day with a light stretch session (call it yoga if you like).
And of course, there’s plenty of fun off the water too: gaming, chess, surprise parties with the Tinto Train… you’ll experience it all.
Tarifa with KiteActive = progression, adventure, and good vibes on a whole new level. The ultimate kite holiday Tarifa.

Questions?
Got a question? We’ve selected some frequently asked questions to help you on your kite holiday Tarifa.
I never kited on sea, can I join?
The sea in Tarifa can be really rough at times. But you have to get through it eventually. If you’d like to learn how to kitesurf at sea, you’ve come to the right place and can book this trip. It’s important that you already have plenty of experience on calm water. Otherwise, you’ll be doing yourself a disservice.
Which flight / airport?
There are tons of flights. Most fly to Malaga, which is a two-hour drive from Tarifa. You can also fly to Seville or Jerez, both also two hours away. On average, a flight during this period costs between €100 and €200, excluding boardbag. It’s easy to rent a car at the airport (starting at €7 per day), and in the group chat, you can share the car with other participants to minimize costs and maximize fun.
Do you need an car?
Yes, you definitely need a car in Tarifa. All kitesurfing spots are often a 10- to 30-minute drive away. You can easily rent one through www.carjet.com at your airport or share a car with someone in a group chat.
Which material to bring?
EVERYTHING! Definitely small kites when the Levante is coming through, but also larger ones when the Poniente isn’t really coming through. Foils, waveboards, all the toys have to come! Don’t feel like lugging them around? We have premium test gear from Core available. Even wingfoil gear if you’d like to try it out. You can always rent a set too.
