About This Spot
Bahia Feliz is a bay-style kitesurfing spot located on Gran Canaria's southeastern coast in Spain, characterized by a northwest-facing shoreline protected within a curved bay formation. The spot features light swell conditions (0.70m average) and relatively sheltered waters suitable for beginners learning fundamentals. A developed residential community occupies the central bay area, creating a defined landing zone with grassy facilities and protected conditions. Northeast winds provide optimal side-shore conditions for this northwest-facing coast. The low average wind speed (9.9 knots) and modest wind reliability (32%) suggest this is best suited for light-wind sessions or training purposes rather than progression riding. Infrastructure including highways parallel to the coast provides good access but limits expansion options. Water temperatures around 22.4°C allow year-round riding with minimal thermal protection. Best conditions typically occur during seasonal wind shifts when northeast flow develops across the Canary Islands.
Hazards & Safety
Highway and major road infrastructure running parallel to coast
Urban development and residential areas limiting landing zones
Shallow nearshore waters in bay areas
Relatively low wind reliability (32%)
Potential rip currents in bay formation
Limited fetch distance due to bay geometry
