Es Carbó

Es Carbó is a protected bay on the northeastern coast of Mallorca, Spain, facing northwest toward the Mediterranean. The spot features a curved shoreline with sandy beach backed by dense pine forest and agricultural land. The bay contains several small rocky islands and shallow sandbars that create a confined water environment with limited fetch. Water conditions are typically light, with average waves under 1 meter, making this a sheltered location. Best conditions occur with northeast winds (45°) providing side-shore flow parallel to the beach. The shallow, protected nature of this bay makes it suitable for beginners and intermediate riders seeking calm conditions and easy water access. The forest backdrop and rocky obstacles require careful navigation and limit lateral riding distance. Low wind reliability (10%) suggests this spot works best during seasonal wind patterns. Landing areas are restricted, requiring precise water management. Avoid strong onshore winds that would compress conditions further.
