El Riuet

El Riuet is a sheltered bay located on the Catalan coast near the Ebro Delta region in northeastern Spain. The spot features a protected inland water body bordered by agricultural land, marshes, and small residential developments. The bay's northeast-facing orientation provides natural wind protection from prevailing directions. Water conditions are typically choppy with minimal wave development due to limited fetch and enclosed nature. Average wind speeds of 7.4 knots with low reliability (11.6%) suggest this is a marginal spot requiring specific weather windows. The shallow, sheltered waters and absence of significant obstacles make this suitable for beginners and light-wind practitioners. Ideal conditions occur with northwest winds providing side-shore approach. Kiters should expect murky water conditions influenced by delta sediment and agricultural runoff. The spot works best during seasonal wind patterns rather than as a consistent daily destination. Local knowledge regarding tidal ranges and marsh-related hazards is recommended.
