Jandia Beach Kitesurf Spot in Fuerteventura

Europe Kiteboard Spot in Spain

Jandia is famous for its beautiful nature reserve filled with flora and fauna. But the reserve is not complete without its white sandy Jandia beach. It is one prominent kitesurf spot on the south-western coast of the Canary Islands. The island itself is an appealing destination due to its mild and comfortable weather all year round. Jandia beach is no exception to that climate. You'll find many freestyle wind and kitesurfers gathering here every year because the annual championship takes place at Playa de Sovento, which is merely 5 minutes away from this beach. Surfing on the tides may take you a bit afar when you can witness village fishers working in the shallow water.

The beach connects to the mainland of Fuerteventura with a narrow piece of land or an isthmus. So, when you stand on the beach, you either see the clear, turquoise blue water of the Atlantic Ocean glimmering under the sun or the nature and the landscape on the mountain. This is why the beach is popular among naturists as much as with the kiteboarder communities. The coast stretches so far that you might find a secluded spot on the beach to sunbathe and relax peacefully or hang around with your fellow kitesurfers for Kiteboarding.

Jandia Beach Kitesurfing wind conditions

The locals believe that the peninsula got its name 'Fuerteventura' because of the strong wind. And there's some truth to it. As part of this peninsula, Jandia Beach is also fairly windy most times of the year. The wind usually comes from the northeast direction, and lucky for the kitesurfing enthusiasts, the beach is right where the trade winds start. Naturally, the kite spot is prone to strong winds. However, against all the rumours you may have heard, the wind is not always very strong. In the summertime, it is typically breezy. So, if your sole purpose of the visit is to have the best kiteboarding experience you can ever have, July and August are the best suitable months for you.
