Our winds...

Thermal winds blow cross on from the right side, gradually picking up during the day. The gentle morning breeze is perfect for those having their first go at windsurfing. The conditions are particularly good for kids.

Generally you can expect the thermal to produce between 3.5 – 4.5 Bft, good days will easily see a force 5 though. The wind here is also particularly constant, which is perfect for learning and improving in kitesurfing.

Your best chances of catching the thermal winds are between May and September.

Garbi: this  local wind called the ‘Garbi’, which has been increasingly more common in the last few years. The ‘Garbi’ tends to appear after the south-easterly thermal wind has kicked in, with the wind slowly swinging to a southerly around 4 pm. This southern wind tends to be somewhere between 5 and 6 Bft, flattening the water to produce perfect freestyle conditions.

Tramuntana on the other hand is a little different. This wind comes cascading down from the Pyrenees in the north, usually picking up to between a F5 and F8.

The water state also changes, leaving you with small waves breaking by the beach and perfect Bump and Jump conditions further out.

If you’ve mastered the waterstart and you have an andvances level in kitesurfing, then you have probably dreamt of these conditions. 4.0 – 5.5m² sails or 5.0- 7.0 m² kites become the norm. Unfortunately though it is very hard to predict the ‘Trami’, though it is more common in cooler weather such as april. Once it arrives the weather tends to stay that way for 2 or 3 days.
