Conil

Conil is a beach break located on Spain's southwestern Atlantic coast facing northwest toward open ocean. The spot features a long sandy beach with an estuary system to the north that creates complex tidal and current conditions. The shallow waters extending far offshore, combined with shifting sandbars typical of this coastline, make it primarily suitable for beginners and intermediate kiters seeking flat water practice in protected conditions. Wind reliability is notably low at 18%, with average winds of 8.3 knots—often insufficient for consistent kitesurfing. The northeast wind direction (45°) provides ideal side-shore conditions parallel to the beach orientation. Water temperatures average 19°C, requiring seasonal wetsuit protection. The proximity of the town and beach infrastructure provides good access and support facilities. Key considerations include monitoring tidal cycles for optimal water depth, awareness of current patterns near the river mouth, and timing sessions during higher wind days. This spot works best as a secondary location or training ground rather than a primary destination.
