About This Spot
Aldeas de Taray is a sheltered lagoon spot located on the Mediterranean coast of southeastern Spain. The lagoon is enclosed by residential development and natural features, creating a protected water body separated from open ocean. The shallow, enclosed nature of this lagoon makes it suited primarily for beginners and lighter-wind sessions. Wind reliability is notably low at 6.8%, and average wind speed of 6.6 knots suggests conditions are often marginal for kitesurfing. The lagoon's configuration provides side-shore winds from the south when sea breezes develop. Water conditions are typically flat with minimal swell penetration due to offshore protection. The spot requires careful navigation around residential areas and shallow sections. Best suited for beginners practicing in controlled conditions rather than progression or wave riding. Kiters should be aware of low wind consistency and plan sessions around thermal wind patterns that typically develop during afternoon hours.
