Sotavento de Jandía

Sotavento Lagoon is a premier European kite destination, acting as a flagship Canary Islands spot with a vast tidal lagoon, warm climate, and consistent trade winds. The location offers a mix of flat water within the lagoon and open-sea chop outside, all over a sandy bottom. It is a major hub for freeride, freestyle, and big air. The main season runs from May to August, though it is rideable most of the year thanks to northeast trade winds accelerated by local topography. The spot is well-supported by kite schools, rentals, rescue services, and nearby hotels. While suitable for all levels, conditions vary significantly based on the tide, wind strength, and crowd levels. Essential checks include tidal lagoon levels, offshore wind zones, and sandbars at low tide.
