In Tarifa we partner with Club Mistral windsurfing. They offer 2 centres at 2 different spots on the main large bay area:

Club Mistral center Hurricane: At the Club Mistral centre Hurricane, the water is flat to choppy in summer; biggish waves (2 meters) only occur from autumn to spring. There is a shorebreak only when the wind is onshore (poniente). At the Hurricane Hotel venue, the shore area is somewhat protected from the wind, but after that, surfing in the levante (side-offshore) is superb. Depending on the tide, there may be some rocks when you are launching and exiting.

Club Mistral center Las Dunas: The most popular and best spot is the center Las Dunas in Valdevaqueros. The center is surrounded by a park, with the fabulous, wide sandy beach, which traces the gentle curve of the bay and extends as far as the dunes, in front of them. Depending on the wind force, the protected bay provides optimum instruction conditions for all skills levels. The shorebreak may be slightly stronger only in autumn, if the wind is onshore (poniente). Beginners' instruction depends on wind conditions and may not always be possible.

Other spots: Tarifa does offer a variety of other spots all along this coast line if you have a car (which most people do). There are also some excellent wave spots such as Bologna and Canos da Mecca - please ask at the center for more details on this.
