Levante



Or the less glamourous name of the East wind has just arrived. Traditionally this system lasts for about 5 days and builds and builds upto 50-70 knots. At one point Tarifa had an exceptionally high suicide rate due to the winds driving the locals crazy, and after just 72 hours of constant wind even the hardiest wundsurfers start to get jaded from the coninual howl. A small swell is still apparent today so it should be a fun session in the cross off winds.
