About This Spot
Almenara is a developed coastal beach break on Spain's Mediterranean coast, featuring a sheltered bay with shallow waters indicated by the turquoise coloration. The spot faces north toward the water, with industrial and residential infrastructure dominating the immediate hinterland. The beach is constrained by urban development, limiting natural features and access options. Water conditions are predominantly flat with minimal swell energy (0.37m average), making this a wind-dependent spot. Prevailing winds average only 5 knots with extremely low reliability (1.4%), suggesting this location is sheltered and experiences inconsistent conditions. Side-shore winds from the east would provide optimal kitesurfing angles. The shallow bay waters reduce hazard exposure but limit wave potential. Best suited for flat-water practice and learners during rare stronger wind events. Water temperature around 19°C requires seasonal consideration. Limited fetch and heavy development make this primarily a local spot dependent on specific wind windows rather than a reliable destination.
