Fuerteventura ticks so many boxes from a kiters perspective and is a perfect short-haul winter destination. We’re happy to have finally found a great partner right at the island’s best flat-water kite spot; welcome to Matas Bay!
Fuerteventura has a nice long wind season stretching from March through to the end of November, but you can also score some great days through the winter months of December & January. With an average temperature of 20 degrees and more than 20 kiteable days per month, it makes it a great winter escape.
Matas Bay itself is an amazing flat water spot that doesn’t depend on the tide, meaning you can kite all day long! There are also numerous wave spots dotted around the island, making it an exciting destination for more advanced wave riders and kiters.
The Canary Islands are blessed with plenty of natural beauty, spectacular landscapes and a thrilling range of activities. Fuerteventura has many spectacular places to visit including its natural pools or the Jurrasic period caves at Ajuy. Hike one of Fuerte’s many coastal trails or volcanic paths to stunning viewpoints, or surf some of the best waves in Europe. There’s also a zoo, sailing trips, scuba diving, jeep safaris, aqua parks or even wine tasting – we’re sure you won’t get bored!

Kitespot & Kiteschool
The spot at Matas Bay is unique for Fuerteventura as the surrounding waters are flatter and the wind is more consistent. The spot itself is not dependent on the tide and you can take advantage of every minute of wind. There’s a shallow area for a few metres as you enter, and then the water gets deep. The wind direction is cross offshore making the water butter flat or smooth as glass! If you need to be brought back to your starting point, then we have an excellent boat service for free riders as well as for those taking lessons.
In winter and summer, Fuerteventura has a light to moderate northeast trade wind. The local thermals reinforce the jet of wind they bring making the island a unique kiting spot. In winter, Fuerteventura offers an average monthly temperature of over 20°C and just as many windy days, making it an ideal destination for Europeans who like to spend the winter in warmth!
Leave your thick wetsuits at home as in the summer only boardshorts or a bikini is needed. In winter, you’ll likely need a 3/2mm wetsuit, but we recommend neoprene shoes as depending on the time of the year, there can be a lot of small stones at the beach or in the water.
On a rare windless day, we’ve included a couple of no-wind activities in your kite package. Try your balance on a SUP board, grab a kayak, or go for a snorkel-excursion in the azure blue waters.
For intermediate and advanced kiters we offer advanced courses to allow you to reach the next level.

The Faro de Punta Jandía lighthouse stands at the southern tip of the island and is powered entirely by solar energy. Since 1850 it has been helping to guide ships away from dangerous reef areas, and when visibility is good, you can see all the way to Gran Canaria.When you reach the lighthouse, you are officially at the end of Fuerteventura and the extreme south-western tip of the island. From here you can head back towards Morro Jable.

Costa Calma is the best place for shopping and partying. You can walk here or jump in a taxi costing just €3-4. For night owls we can recommend the Night Lounge, a stylish club with an open-air lounge.OLD ISLAND CAPITAL CITY BETANCURIA
