These spots in Tarifa are known for wing foiling. Each has its own character and conditions.
Long beach south of Valdevaqueros. Works on Poniente days when Valdevaqueros is offshore. Good for beginners.
Mediterranean side of Tarifa. Flat water and thermal wind in the afternoon. Popular with foilers and freestylers.
A 4–5m wing works on strong Levante days. Use a mid-aspect foil with good low-end lift for the gusty wind transitions.
