Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain
Rocky point break immediately east of El Médano; expert wave spot with waves up to 3 m in summer. The NE trade wind blows side-onshore on the WSW-facing shore. Primarily a windsurf beach — kiters must respect designated zones and stay clear of windsurfers. Entry/exit from rocky shore requires local knowledge.
El Médano is a town in the municipality of Granadilla de Abona, on the island of Tenerife, one of the Canary Islands. It is located about 11 kilometers from the town of Granadilla, reaching an average altitude of 75 meters above sea level.

You've already got wind data — the hard part is knowing what it means for you. Most kiters end up checking two, three, four apps and still asking: can I actually go? Breeza was built by a kiter who had the same problem. Feed it your gear, weight and level and it tells you if El Cabezo is rideable right now. The answer, not the tabs.
