Hi all,
I will be in Tarifa from 19- 25 september.
I am independent but beginner and I only have one kite - 12m Switchblade.
Should I bring it with me? Or is it going to be too big and I will end up renting smaller ones?
How is wind around this time?
Thanks

This true. Check the forecast before you go. Can be a week of Levante or one with Ponientejohn a wrote: Never know, could be lavente or could be poniente. Always bring kite for Tarifa!

Levante (E): expect winds from 20 to 50 knots.
Poniente (W): 10 to 25 knots.
Chances are 50-50
If there is a nucking Levante (+40 kt) you can drive to Caños de Meca (60 km north) or Getares (20 km east). There can be a difference of 15 knots or more.
Poniente (W): 10 to 25 knots.
