The Windsurfing
There are 3 main, popular areas - The beaches just South of Corralejo in the North (particularly Flag Beach and Glass Beach) and El Cotillo on the NW tip.
For those who prefer a little more adventure, then some of the launches on the North coast and those off the tourist trail (Puerto Lajas & El Matorral, for example) should provide more of a challenge. Cotillo can pack a mean wave - especially when the tide's high
According to Sotavento statistics, windiest month is July with 95-100% of days having above force 4, 70% above force 7!! Next best months are June & August with 90-95% above force 4, 33% above force 7. The wind in the North never seems to be as strong - which can be a good thing!
In the Winter, the North coast comes into it's own (as long as there's wind) as the swells and waves are bigger, and the wind direction has a better chance of being cross-shore at at least some of the locations there.
