Famara is a great place for kite surfing

with its more than 4km long beach, it has an area exclusively reserved for kite surfers! If you are new to kite surfing and would like to learn, you will find a number of kite surfing schools in famara which can offer you a great service, most of them are IKO certified so once you finish the course you will be able to kite anywhere in the world. The best time of the year for

kite surfing

  in famara is from May to September, when the Alisio winds start and the star months are July and August. The rest of the months are also good, but the wind is not so predictable, so be prepared to do other activities if there is now wind, such as surfing or Lanzorote sight seeing! Famara is not one of the easiest beaches to learn on, as it does have waves all year round, but once you get your water start going it is a great spot and you will really be enjoying it. Famara beach gets pretty bussy in August, as this is the peak holiday season for the spanish, and most of them leave the cities to enjoy south of spain and the canary islands. But even so it is so big you will never find hundreds of kites like you might in Tarifa or other main european spots. Of course most people enjoy kite surfing in the summer, with the nice sun and warm waters, but in famara you will enjoy the sun all year round, and in december the water will only be around 20 degrees, so if you are learning just put on a thin wet suit and you will not be getting any hyperthermia, another big advantage of famara is that even in the peak season you will still feel it is pretty empty compared to places such as tarifa, and you will be benefiting from lots of space for you and your kite!
