About This Spot
Buzo is a sheltered beach break located on the northern coast of the Bay of Algeciras in southern Spain. The spot faces northwest into the Atlantic, with a sandy beach backed by dense residential development. The relatively calm conditions (0.77m average waves, 6.4 knots wind) indicate this is a protected bay environment rather than an open ocean exposure. The low wind reliability (7.1%) suggests thermal or seasonal patterns dominate. This spot suits beginners and early intermediates due to sheltered conditions and manageable wave heights. The best wind direction for side-shore conditions is northeast (45°), which would provide clean, parallel wind. Kiters should be aware of shallow water extending from the beach, rocky features at the southern headland, and potential boat traffic from the nearby marina. The tight residential setting limits facilities and may affect access. Summer thermal winds and winter Atlantic swells would be the primary wind/swell producers.
