Aguieira

Aguieira is a sheltered beach break located on the northwestern coast of Spain, characterized by a curved sandy beach with a shallow lagoon system. The spot features a well-developed residential area immediately inland with agricultural fields beyond. The beach orientation (northwest-facing) creates a protected cove with relatively modest wave heights (1.24m average). The shallow lagoon area provides flat water for learning, while the main beach break offers small, manageable waves. Conditions are best with northeast winds (45°) providing side-shore flow. Low wind reliability (3.8%) and minimal average wind speeds (5.5 knots) make this location marginal for consistent kitesurfing. Water temperatures average 16.1°C, requiring a wetsuit year-round. The spot suits beginners and intermediate kiters seeking flat-water practice in sheltered conditions, though wind consistency is a significant limitation. Rocky features on the left side and shallow areas require careful navigation. This location is better suited for light-wind technique work than progression in stronger conditions.
