The consistent winds and warm weather of Lanzarote make learning the sport of Kitesurfing much more accessible.
The five kilometer long beach has been recently zoned into separate areas for all water users. The kitesurfing zone is accessible by following the road up the right hand side of the Famara bunglows all the way to the top then turning left and following the track back down to the beach. The track is not in the best of conditions but is passable in any sort of car. Once you get back down to the beach the kite zone starts.

Once the summer Azores high pressure sets up this creates the 'trade winds' which blow a cooling North Easterly wind across the island creating a comfortable temperature and dependable kiting conditions. Being a volcanic island that receives warm inland temperatures there are also local thermic wind conditions that occur. This means that if some parts of the island do not have winds others may well do, this normally blow during the hottest parts of the day.
