Why Riders Love It

Levante (NE, E) works not as good as on other spots. Work best with Poniente and South wind. You can find the typical Levante wind (east), which is usually side-off at Conil. In this Levante days you won't find many people bathing in the beach as the sand is all over the place. Gusty, side-off, flat with sometimes a perfect wave to surf. In the last days of Levante it usually goes to southeast and is very different, there you get side to side-on conditions, more choppy and small waves, but safer. With Poniente (west) wind its lighter, and very constant, its typical thermal winds starting from 14:00 onwards, sometimes too light so bring your bigger kite. Conditions are side-on from the right and there is choppy all over the place, and many many people in the beach.

📅

When to Go

During summer just shorts or a shorty. Long wetsuit during winter. In fall and spring something in between.

🌊

What to Expect

Chop and up to medium waves. Where the river (Rio Salado) meets the ocean you will find nice flat water and shallow areas. With a good swell during winter and falling tide a nice beach break comes up in front of the river mouth.
