About This Spot
Algarrobico is a developed beach break on Spain's southeastern coast, facing due east toward the Mediterranean Sea. The spot features a sandy beach with visible sandbars and shallow nearshore waters, typical of Mediterranean beach breaks. Infrastructure development is evident along the shoreline, with roads and residential areas backing the beach. The area experiences consistent but light conditions with an average wind speed of only 5.8 knots and very low wind reliability at 4.1%, making sessions sporadic. Average wave height of 0.64m suggests this is primarily a small-wave venue dependent on swell events. Best conditions occur with northerly winds (0°), which provide side-shore flow along the east-facing beach. The shallow water and sandy bottom make this suitable for beginners and intermediate riders during favorable wind windows. Kiters should expect variable conditions and should time sessions during wind forecasts. The developed coastline means limited natural space, and current patterns through the beach breaks warrant caution. This spot works best during winter swell seasons when larger systems push from the Atlantic.
