Level: Intermediate, Expert

Type: Ocean

Water type: Flat, Chop

Water hazards: None

Water quality: Clean

Infos: Flat water. Sometimes a little choppy. No currents, deep water about 20m from shore.

Beach type & size: Sand, Pebbles - Tidal

Infos: Black sand with some little stones. When the tide is up there are some places that don't have enough space to launch, but if you go to the right side of the beach you have enough room. The beach is about 1.5 km long. Beach can be crowded with sunbathers. It's narrow about 25m with full tide, more at the south is wider. Launching zone is from half beach don't go to the North side, there are more people and a little mountain stops the wind.

Identified hazards: Bystanders

Weather specificities: Always good weather, water relatively cold, a 3mm wetsuit is recommended.

Wind type: Trade

Wind specificities: When the wind is blowing from the Northeast it's offshore. Good to kite there with sideshore wind from the left when is blowing from the East and there is no wind in Sotavento, and sideonshore from the right when is blowing from the South. The best time is from 13.00 to 16.00. The wind is better if you go to the right side of the beach because there is a little mountain at the left side. In summer is always offshore but from October to March there are some days that is good for kitesurf with sideshore wind. This spot works when the wind came from the East and from the South. Sotavento is about 16 km to the south and many times with those wind directions there is no wind in Sotavento and there is wind in Tarajalejo. Usual kites 12m+.

Best months: January, February, March, November, December

Access description: by Car - From the airport you go to the South, direction Gran Tarajal or Morrro Jable. It's about 35 min by car from the airport. After Gran Tarajal (about 10 km) and when the road meets the sea you are in Tarajalejo. You could access to the right side of the beach with the car going straight the road that pass in front of the Hotel Tofio, turn left and you reach the beach.

Specific rules: None

Extra: The rescue service could be the boat that the Catamaran school has, but don't count on it. Be kind with the beach users because in some places there is no much room for error in launching and landing.

Accommodations: Rescue, Toilet, Food, Parking
