As Furnas

As Furnas is a sheltered beach break located on the northwestern coast of Spain, facing west toward the Atlantic Ocean. The spot features a sandy beach backed by agricultural and residential land, with a visible river mouth creating a distinctive sandbar pattern. The shallow, sandy bottom and moderate wave structure make it suitable for beginners, though conditions are frequently marginal. Wind reliability is notably low at 5.3%, making this spot inconsistent for regular kitesurfing sessions. Average waves of 1.89m indicate small, manageable conditions. The best wind direction is from the north (0°), providing side-shore conditions parallel to the beach. Kiters should be aware of the river current visible in the water patterns and potential shallow areas near the sandbar. The proximity to residential development suggests light boat traffic during peak hours. This spot works best as a secondary location or for flat-water skill development during rare consistent wind windows. Water temperatures around 15.8°C require appropriate thermal protection.
