“Go”: a rideable window long enough to count. “Marginal”: it might work, not for long enough to promise. “No wind”: nothing rideable today. “Not yet”: too far out, or the models still disagree. Drawn as an outline, never a colour. The small line underneath says where the number comes from: which models, whether they are corrected against wind measured at this spot, and whether what you see was measured or forecast.

Levante stays in your range from 07:00 to 16:00.

Levante · E/ENE · Cross-shore 109°

Gusty Levante day: mean 15 knots, gusting 34. Rig one kite size down from what the mean suggests.

Hour by hour
Each bar is one hour's forecast, coloured by your range: solid inside it, amber just short or gusty, muted outside. On a day nothing reaches your range, nothing takes a colour: there is data, and it is honestly short. Gusty hours are demoted: when the jump between mean and gust is big, an in-range hour shows amber. Here the spread, not the average, decides the day.

Tide
The curve is today's water level; the marker is now. The times are the next high and low water. Tide gets a card here because it genuinely changes the session at this spot; where it doesn't, no card is shown.

A real Atlantic tide. At low water the beach opens into hundreds of metres of hard sand; at high water the shore narrows and the lagoon behind the bar fills; on a Poniente day at high tide, rigging space gets tight.

From 15 June to 15 September the bathing zone between the Río Jara and Isla de las Palomas is closed to kites. In summer you ride Los Lances North only, north of the Río Jara; the rest of the year, the whole beach.

The Los Lances lagoon is a protected natural area and bird sanctuary: kiting and all water sports are banned in the lagoon by regional decree and municipal ordinance. Real fines: the tempting sheet of water behind the bar is not a spot.

Los Lances is seven kilometres of white sand running from Tarifa town to the dunes, up to 200 metres deep, more rigging room than you will ever need. Two winds with opposite personalities blow here: the Levante, warm, gusty and off the land, and the Poniente, Atlantic, even and cross-onshore; between them the local guides count rideable wind in every month of the year.

About this forecastModel ensemble · not calibrated here yet · forecast, not measured

No openly available high-resolution weather model covers this spot (some commercial sites run private local models). The forecast runs on continental and global models, which resolve the coastline more coarsely; expect a wider margin than at a spot with a local model.

No live wind sensor here yet. The number above is forecast, not measured.
