Los Lances: kite spot summary
The kitesurf spot of Los Lances, stretching over 4 kilometers along the coast and offering an ideal space for safe takeoff, is located near the town, towards Cadiz.
This site is particularly favorable with the poniente wind, which blows there regularly, usually onshore or side-onshore.
It is important to note that in the presence of the levante wind, it becomes offshore, making conditions more complex for less experienced practitioners.
The beach is divided into two distinct zones by the Rio Jara:
The southern zone, near the town, is prohibited for kitesurfing from June 15 to September 15, a period during which it is exclusively dedicated to swimming. Outside of these dates, this part is favorable with a side-on poniente wind, while the levante, blowing offshore, is negatively influenced by the urban proximity.
The northern zone is suitable for both types of winds. Under the levante, although the wind is mainly offshore, safety is reinforced by the presence of rescue boats for kitesurfers.
Furthermore, the northern beach is structured into different areas for kitesurfing activities:
A zone dedicated to learning, extending from the north to Chiringuito Agua, is exclusively reserved for kitesurf schools.
A free navigation area is located between Chiringuito Agua and the border separating Los Lances North and South, at the Rio Jara.
Since the boundaries of these zones may not be clearly defined, it is strongly advised to consult the information panels located at the beach entrances for clarification.

What is the best period to go kitesurfing toLos Lances?
On Los Lances, you can kite all year round. It is mild even in winter, and the wind blows as well in summer as in winter. If I had to define a better period, I would say between April and June, because thermals are more likely to come and support the wind, and the mass of tourists who come every summer are not yet there.
