Winddescription & Windstatistic

Spot with thermal windconditions (South-East)
Garbi Wind (South)
Tramuntana (North)

Sea breezes (thermal winds) blow cross-onshore from the right, gradually picking up during the day. The gentle morning breeze is perfect for those having their first go at windsurfing. Conditions are particularly good for kids.
As a general rule you can expect the thermal to get up to between 3.5 – 4.5 Bft, with good days blowing a steady Force 5 though. The wind here is also particularly constant, which is perfect for learning and improving your kitesurfing skills.
Your best chances of catching the thermal winds are between May and September.

The Garbi: this local wind has been more frequent over 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.

The Tramuntana on the other hand is a little different. This wind comes rushing 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 advanced 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 it is very hard to predict the ‘Trami’, although it is more common in cooler months, such as April. Once it arrives the weather tends to stay that way for 2 or 3 days.
