First of all this allmost never happens in Tarifa. Usually it’s windy every day and we have termic winds in the afternoons also. In case there isn’t enough wind to do your kitecourse you don’t have to pay of course and we recommend you other fun activities in or around Tarifa. There is plenty to do in this magic place also besides kitesurfing. You can mountainbike, climb, go for walks, check out the sanddunes, coastal walk, enjoy the great gastronomy or chill in one of the beachbars. Nearby places like Vejer de la Frontera and Cadiz are worth a visit also.
