About This Spot
Bayas is a beach break located on the northern coast of Spain facing northwest into the Atlantic. The spot features a long sandy beach adjacent to rocky cliffs and forested terrain, with a river outlet visible in the satellite imagery creating a natural sediment pattern. Wave generation is moderate due to limited offshore fetch and relatively sheltered positioning. The beach appears suitable for launching and landing with adequate space. Wind reliability is notably low at 2.4%, with average winds around 5.2 knots, making consistent sessions unpredictable. Average wave heights of 1.72m indicate small, learner-friendly conditions. The spot suits beginners and intermediate riders seeking calm conditions in a scenic coastal setting. Ideal wind direction is northeast to east, providing side-shore conditions. Kiters should be aware of the rocky terrain, potential shore currents from the river mouth, and variable seafloor conditions. Water temperature and weather patterns typical for northern Spain should be considered. This location is best visited during higher wind periods or swell-generating weather systems.
