About This Spot
Es Codolls is a protected bay on the southwest coast of Ibiza, Spain, facing approximately northwest toward the water. The bay is partially enclosed by rocky headlands with a sandy beach forming the main landing area. The spot experiences light swell conditions (0.65m average) with modest wind reliability (7.7%), suggesting it functions as a light-wind destination suitable for beginners and early-intermediate riders seeking manageable conditions.
The bay's enclosed geography provides natural wind acceleration and protection from larger swells, making it relatively sheltered. Side-shore wind from the northeast (45°) would be ideal for the coastline orientation. Numerous moored boats indicate this is an active recreational area, requiring careful navigation and awareness of marine traffic.
The spot suits riders developing foundational skills in controlled conditions. Low wind reliability means sessions are weather-dependent. Shallow water near the beach and rocky features require conservative edge management. The protected bay setting makes this suitable for progression work rather than high-wind wave riding.
Hazards & Safety
Moored boats in bay - collision risk
Rocky outcrops visible along shoreline
Shallow water near beach - depth unknown
Limited fetch distance due to bay geography
Residential development - potential for observer congestion
