About This Spot
El Pollo is a beach break located on Spain's eastern Mediterranean coast facing east toward open water. The spot features a sandy beach backed by intensive agricultural land use, residential properties, and road infrastructure. The shallow waters and visible sandbars indicate a gently sloping bottom typical of this coastal region. The spot experiences minimal swell (0.43m average) and very low wind reliability (3.0%), making consistent sessions unlikely. Best conditions occur with northerly winds providing side-shore conditions. Average wind speed of 5.6 knots is marginal for kitesurfing. Water temperature around 18.7°C requires seasonal consideration. The proximity of residential areas and agricultural operations suggests this is a developed coastal zone rather than a dedicated water sports destination. Most suitable for beginner kiters during the rare occasions when sufficient wind develops, though the low reliability and minimal swell make this a secondary option compared to more exposed Mediterranean locations.
