About this spot

Flag Beach is the primary all-round kite spot on Fuerteventura's north coast, offering views of Lobos Island and a mix of conditions from flat sections to small waves. The spot features a sandy beach with some reef and rock sections, attracting wave riders, freeriders, and freestylers. The most consistent wind occurs between November and August, driven by northeast trade winds that often blow cross-shore. The infrastructure is excellent, with schools, rentals, and easy access to Corralejo's amenities. While suitable for all levels, riders must be mindful of rocks at low tide, potential shorebreak on high-swell days, and the risk of offshore wind angles.
