About This Spot
Can Martinet is a coastal beach break located on the Mediterranean coast of northeastern Spain near the Rhône Delta region. The spot features a sandy beach with an adjacent river mouth system visible in the satellite imagery, creating a sheltered lagoon-like environment bordered by agricultural land. The water conditions are typically choppy with small average wave heights of 0.69m, making this a beginner-friendly location with minimal wave power. The spot benefits from a protected beach environment backed by agricultural parcels and river infrastructure. Best wind conditions arrive from the north (0°), providing side-shore winds parallel to the coastline. However, wind reliability is notably low at 11.2%, suggesting this spot experiences limited consistent wind patterns suitable for kitesurfing. Water temperatures average 16.5°C, requiring a wetsuit. The gentle conditions suit beginners and those seeking flat-water practice, though the low wind reliability and shallow nature mean kiters should scout conditions carefully before committing to a session.
