Corrubedo A Ladeira

Corrubedo A Ladeira is a sheltered bay on the Galician coast facing northwest into the Atlantic. The spot is bounded by dramatic chalk cliffs to the north and east, with a sandy beach backed by a small residential area. The bay offers a mix of sandy bottom and rocky features, with a natural sandbar creating distinct zones. The northwestern orientation provides natural protection from most Atlantic swell while allowing side-shore wind access. Best conditions occur with northeasterly or easterly winds providing side-shore orientation. The low wind reliability (8.1%) and modest average wind speed (6.5 knots) suggest this is primarily a lighter-wind spot. Wave heights average 1.95m, indicating consistent but not powerful conditions. The terrain suits intermediate kiters comfortable with confined spaces and variable wind due to cliff effects. Navigation requires awareness of rocks and shallow areas, particularly along the western margin. The cliff setting provides scenic conditions but limits wind consistency and creates acceleration/turbulence zones.
