The Windsurfing
The Windsurfing
Situated in the North of Fuerteventura with good access to a variety of different windsurfing beaches, Corralejo is a hot destination all year round for windsurfers and sunbathers alike.
Moderate north easterly trade winds are combined with a natural wind acceleration effect producing consistent summer winds ranging from F4 up to as much as F8! Winter winds are somewhat different and come across the Atlantic resulting in slightly less reliable conditions and extremes varying from nothing to gale force. Winter tends to bring the waves to the island so surfing is also a popular pastime on the island.
Whilst not strictly necessary in Fuerte, we do recommend car hire in order to visit the various beaches - El Cotillo, Flag and Glass Beach. Corralejo itself has plenty of bars and restaurants all within walking distance.

Centre, Courses & Kit
The Centre
The windsurfing school is situated in Corralejo itself and will transport you to the relevant beach of the day depending on your level. Beginners usually begin at El Cotillo in a large enclosed teaching lagoon to master the basics, in a safe environment, before venturing out onto the open sea. Intermediate and advanced sailors will receive tuition on the sea, usually at Flag Beach, but always depending on the local conditions.
The centre is fully equipped and staffed by a team of international instructors who will be happy to get you started on the right path or help you complete that dynamic move that may have been evading you.
