weather

Do not fly if local pilots are on the ground. Check for hard left or right wind on the start. Try to land fast if you see white waves on the sea. Taucho is in the lee side of the Tenerife Island. Best flying is when the main wind to the island is NE. 80% of the year wind direction is NE. This gives SW lee side winds on the start and landing and good thermal conditions with a possibility to thermal the 25 km length of SW side of Island. Check the weather on: http://www.aemet.es/es/eltiempo/prediccion/modelosnumericos/hirlam005?opc2=coo&opc3=vi zoom in on AEMET for details.

regulation

Landing on the (sand) beach in Costa Adeje (N28.092 W16.745) is strictly prohibited and controlled by local police to avoid injuries of people on the beach. Landing on rocky black beach westwards (N28.0924 W16.7466) or even pirate beach (N28.0976 W16.7515) is tolerated (but probably not legal either).
