About This Spot
El Pinet is a sheltered beach break located on Spain's Mediterranean coast, facing eastward toward the sea. The spot features a sandy beach backed by residential development and natural vegetation, with protected lagoon systems visible inland. The water exhibits light swell conditions typical of Mediterranean beaches, with very small average wave heights of 0.55m. This is a beginner-friendly location characterized by gentle, consistent conditions rather than challenging breaks. Wind reliability is notably low at 3.9%, making consistent sessions unpredictable. When wind is present, northerly winds provide ideal side-shore conditions. The shallow waters and gradual beach break make it suitable for learners and progression riders seeking calm, controlled conditions. The proximity to developed areas means kiters should be aware of potential space limitations and local regulations. Best suited for light-wind freestyle practice and beginner wave riding during rare optimal wind windows.
