Hi - could anyone point me to tide tables for Flag Beach Fuerte for 2018 please. Specifically I need March. (I can't find any tide times that go that far ahead.)
Many thanks.

Thanks Gunnar. Are the times more or less the same at Corralejo?

What role does the tide play at Flag beach? When it is low, water won't cover the rocks close to the beach? Is that considered good, as you now can see them, or is it advantageous to kite there in high tide?

At low tide the reefs either side of the bay come out and the rock plates in the middle of the beach come out. It reduces the kiteable space close to the beach by about half. It is both good and bad. The water is more flat at low tide and it is obvious that the rocks are there, but it is shallow. But that is only a big issue if you feel you need to ride close to the beach. If you ride out and stay 200m from the beach, there are no more rocks.
