About This Spot
Ciudad Jardín is a sheltered bay on Spain's Mediterranean coast facing southwest. The bay is enclosed by developed coastline with residential and commercial zones dominating both sides. Water conditions are characterized by very weak swell (average 0.56m) and minimal wind reliability at only 3.5%, with average winds of 5.6 knots—marginal for most kitesurfing. The bay's enclosed nature provides protection but severely limits fetch distance and wind exposure. Best wind direction is northwest, approaching perpendicular to the coast. The spot suits only beginners on the rare days with sufficient wind, primarily offering flat-water conditions. Extensive shallow areas, jetties, and high boat traffic require careful navigation. The combination of unreliable wind, weak swell, and high density development makes this a challenging location for regular kitesurfing. Nearby exposed beaches or open coast would likely offer more consistent conditions.
