About This Spot
Campo de Futbol is a beach break located on Spain's southern coast near the Strait of Gibraltar, characterized by a sandy beach backed by significant residential development. The spot faces west toward the Atlantic, with a shallow lagoon system visible to the north that affects water conditions and currents. The average wind of 9.4 knots with only 25.5% reliability makes this a marginal destination requiring patience and selective scheduling. Small average waves (1.05m) suit beginners seeking flat-water practice conditions rather than progression. Best conditions occur with north winds providing side-shore flow. The shallow water near shore and nearby residential infrastructure limit the area's appeal for serious kitesurfing. This spot functions better as a casual learning location for locals during favorable wind windows rather than a dedicated kitesurfing destination. Water temperature averaging 19.1°C requires minimal thermal protection. Tidal influences from the lagoon system should be monitored carefully.
Hazards & Safety
Shallow lagoon areas visible inland - risk of running aground
Residential development with potential for crowded conditions
