Hazards

Atlantic swells and occasional shore break despite flat water reputationRocky outcrops and shallow areas near the beach require careful entry/exitStrong tidal currents common in La Coruna coastal watersUnpredictable wind shifts from Atlantic weather systems

Launch notes

Flat water conditions make this ideal for beginners, but watch for rocky areas during launch. SW and WSW winds are most reliable; check tide tables as currents affect water state.

Gear & clothing

Gear · 12-14m kites suit the 10.7kt average wind; bring a range since conditions vary seasonally. Flat water boards or directional boards work well; avoid wave boards.

Clothing · 3-4mm wetsuits for winter months (Nov-Feb); 2mm or spring suits for summer. Atlantic waters stay cool year-round, so always wear protection.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect local beach users and swimmers, especially on weekends. Keep upwind of other riders and maintain clear communication in crowded conditions.

Additional notes

Winter months (Jan-Feb) and autumn (Sep-Oct) offer the most consistent wind and fewer crowds. Check local forecasts carefully as Atlantic conditions can change rapidly.
