Fuerteventura is an island renowned for its winds and waves, making it a Mecca for water sports enthusiasts such as Kitesurfing, Windsurfing, Surfing, and now also Foil and Wing Foil.
The Best Time for Wind Sports
Fuerteventura is an island of eternal spring, with the seasons divided into windy and non-windy periods.
From May until the end of August, the trade winds hit the island, allowing us to fully enjoy sports like Kitesurfing, Windsurfing, and Wing Foil!
The closest spot, Flag Beach, is just 4 km from Bahiazul. It’s a perfect location for riders of all levels. A bit further south, you can find Glass Beach, ideal for wave enthusiasts and great throughout the summer.
Sports Events at Bahiazul Fuerteventura Resort
This May, Bahiazul hosted a “KiteCamp” with the top two female kitesurfers in the world: Jalou Langeree (3-time kiteboarding world champion) and Catharina Edin (kiteboarding vice-world champion).
Participants of our camp enjoyed the crystal-clear waters of Fuerteventura and all the amenities Bahiazul offers. With spacious villas featuring patios and terraces, they are ideal for storing sports equipment. The convenience of parking close to the villa makes it easy to load and unload gear.
Stay informed about other sports activities we plan to organize in the future and book your Kite, Wing Foil, or Windsurf course through Bahiazul.
Windsurf World Cup
Fuerteventura hosts the Windsurf World Cup, which has been organized for 35 years! The Kiteboarding World Cup has also been held here since 2001, taking place in the summer (the windiest season). The event is held at “Playa Sotavento”, a 5 km long sandy beach on the southeast coast of Fuerteventura and the windiest beach on the island. This year, the event will take place from July 22 to August 6.
The Longest Wave in Europe
In early September, the trade winds end, marking the start of the surf season. Throughout the year, you can find sheltered spots with great waves, but it’s especially between September and December when the surf is most “glassy.”
The best surf spots are located in the north of Fuerteventura, all within a 20-minute drive from Bahiazul. You can also take a water taxi to the surf spot on Lobos Island, where you’ll find the longest right wave in Europe. Remember to go at sunrise to avoid the crowds!
As you can see, Fuerteventura is much more than just spectacular beaches and stunning landscapes. If you love water sports, this is the place for you. The great news is that you can enjoy it with your family, friends, or solo all year round. Bahiazul will help you find the perfect activity for you!
