Launch notes

Gear & clothing

Gear · Bring 14-17m kites for the light average winds (8.2 kts); consider larger sizes for lighter wind days. A directional board or small wave board works well on flat water.

Clothing · Wear a 3-4mm wetsuit during winter months (Jan-Feb) when Mediterranean water is coolest; 2mm or spring suit suffices March-June and October. Quick-dry rash guards are practical for frequent entries.

Crowd & etiquette

Keep clear of swimmers and other water users in this popular Mediterranean spot. Respect local beach regulations and stay aware of maritime traffic from the Barcelona shipping lanes.

Additional notes

Best wind windows occur March-April and October when consistent sea breezes develop; June can be lighter but still viable. Check local Barcelona wind forecasts carefully as this coastal spot is prone to variable conditions.
