About This Spot
Bolonia is a beach break located on Spain's southern Atlantic coast in Tarifa, Cádiz province. The beach faces northwest toward open Atlantic waters, with a wide sandy beach backed by dunes and scattered residential development. The spot features moderate wave exposure and rough-chop water conditions typical of exposed Atlantic beaches. A notable rocky outcrop at the southern end creates additional structure and potential hazard. Best conditions occur with northeast winds (45°) providing side-shore flow along the northwest-facing shore. The spot works for intermediate riders seeking varied conditions, though low wind reliability (14.3%) means sessions are inconsistent. Water temperatures average 19.4°C and wave heights typically reach 1.2m. The beach offers reasonable access and facilities, making it practical for day trips. Kiters should monitor tidal changes affecting shallow areas near shore and be aware of the rocky southern section. The combination of moderate difficulty, variable wind, and crowded beach conditions make this a secondary option compared to more consistent nearby spots.
