Cabo de las Huertas

Cabo de las Huertas is a sheltered bay located on Spain's southeastern coast near Alicante, featuring a southwest-facing shoreline. The bay is characterized by light-swell conditions and moderate water clarity. Dense residential development surrounds the northern and western portions, while rocky limestone formations define the southern headland. The spot functions as a protected bay environment with variable wind patterns and low wind reliability (1.9% average), making consistent sessions challenging. Conditions are best with northeasterly winds providing side-shore flow parallel to the coast. The shallow, sheltered waters and modest wave heights (0.6m average) make this suitable for beginner to early-intermediate kiters practicing in controlled conditions. Water temperatures average 19.7°C, requiring seasonal rashguard protection. The proximity to urban infrastructure and residential areas means limited space and potential navigational considerations. This spot is most valuable during rare high-wind periods when onshore conditions develop.
