Choppy Atlantic Ocean conditions with strong currents common in Galician watersRocky outcrops and reefs near the coastline requiring careful navigationSudden wind shifts from multiple directions (NNE to SSW) affecting stabilityCold water temperatures year-round increasing hypothermia risk

Launch notes

Launch from the beach into choppy ocean conditions; NNE and S winds are most consistent. Watch for strong currents flowing parallel to shore and plan your entry carefully during tide changes.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Use 14-17m kites for the moderate 11.3kt average winds; a directional board or waveboard handles choppy conditions better than a twin-tip. Consider a smaller kite for stronger wind days when NNE or S winds peak.

Clothing · Wear a 4/3mm or 5/4mm winter wetsuit year-round due to cold Atlantic water temperatures; spring/summer months (May-Aug) may allow 3/2mm suits. Always wear booties for protection on rocky areas.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect local fishing activities common in Galicia and maintain distance from other water users. Stay aware of other kiters' positions in the choppy conditions and communicate wind observations.
