Kitesurfing Majanicho
Fuerteventura, Canary Islands, Spain
Wind & Conditions
Premier wave-riding point break on Fuerteventura's north shore; a lava reef at the bay entrance produces clean right-hand waves of 2–3.5 m. The dominant NE Alisios is side-offshore, making conditions gusty; expert-only. Rocky lava entry — booties recommended. Best January to August.

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 Majanicho is rideable right now. The answer, not the tabs.
