At this time of day the winds are lighter and the thermals not so strong. As the sun gets higher and land gets hotter the stronger thermals and thermic driven winds start to come into play. This is the time when the higher airtime paragliders can get some amazing cross country flights. There is no better place in Europe over winter time to fly than in Lanzarote.
