Watch the 2027 Total Solar Eclipse from the Water in Tarifa
2 August 2027 · Valdevaqueros Beach · Tarifa
Imagine being out on the water at Valdevaqueros, looking towards the Strait of Gibraltar, when the morning sky suddenly begins to darken.
On 2 August 2027, Tarifa will experience a total solar eclipse, with totality arriving at around 10:45 and lasting almost five minutes.
And at Adrenalin Kite Area, we have a pretty special idea:
Why not experience it from the water?
Eclipse day, but make it Tarifa
On 2 August 2027, Adrenalin Kite Area will open earlier, giving riders the opportunity to get on the water early and enjoy the unique atmosphere of eclipse morning.
Whether you’re an experienced kitesurfer, wing foiler or other watersports enthusiast, you can start your session at Valdevaqueros and then take a break to experience the eclipse from the beach — or, where conditions and safety allow, enjoy the extraordinary moment from the water.
Imagine floating on the Mediterranean side of Tarifa, the Strait of Gibraltar and Africa on the horizon, while daylight starts to fade and the Moon moves across the Sun.
That’s not your everyday watersports session.
Reserve your gear for the 2027 eclipse
If you’re travelling to Tarifa for the eclipse and want to combine it with a session on the water, reserve your equipment in advance.
Adrenalin Kite Area offers quality kitesurfing, wing foil and foil drive equipment for rent in Valdevaqueros, right next to the beach and to beach bar Tangana.
On eclipse day, we’ll open earlier than usual, giving you more time to get ready, get on the water and make the most of this very special morning.
Reserve your gear early — eclipse day in Tarifa is likely to be a busy one.
From the water to the eclipse
The eclipse itself will only last a few minutes.
Your Tarifa adventure doesn’t have to.
Enjoy an early session, watch the sky change, experience totality, and then spend the rest of the day doing what Tarifa does best — wind, water, beach, food and good times.
Come for the eclipse. Get on the water. Stay for Tarifa.
