About This Spot
Cap d'Es Falcó is located on Ibiza's eastern coast, facing southwest into the Mediterranean. The spot features a shallow bay with significant aquaculture operations visible as color-coded ponds inland. Water conditions are characterized by light swell (0.65m average) and calm conditions typical of protected bay environments. Wind reliability is extremely low at 6.6%, making this location marginal for consistent kitesurfing. The presence of multiple shallow pond structures behind the beach creates a complex navigation environment. Best conditions occur with northwest winds (315°), providing side-shore flow parallel to the coastline. This spot suits beginners due to shallow, protected water but requires careful attention to shallow zones and seaweed. The extremely low wind reliability and limited fetch significantly restrict usability. Advanced planning and spot-checking conditions beforehand are essential. Access appears available through the forested area, though infrastructure is minimal.
