Why Riders Love It
The beach can be in a wind shadow and therefore gusty, depending on the direction. The wind changes from Poniente (West) to Levante (East) in general every few days, guess the best rate can be up to 60-70% days with more than 4 Bft per month in summer. Best direction is definitely ESE. When wind is forecasted from East, it's possible that the wind will come into the bay (ESE) because of the mountains and geographic effects. Less strong winds than Tarifa, so if the wind blows too strong there, you can go to this spot for less wind. Normally a couple of forces lower.
When to Go
Air in winter 20°C, in summer between 25 and 35°C. Water between 18°C in winter and 23°C in summer. Winter long wetsuit, summer shorty or shorts, rest of year shorty.
What to Expect
Flat and choppy water. With strong Levante winds waves up to 1.5m possible. The water can be a bit dirty.
