Espalmador is a shallow lagoon located off the northeastern coast of Ibiza, Spain, featuring a distinctive enclosed water body separated from the open Mediterranean by a thin sand barrier. The lagoon is characterized by extremely shallow depths (typically 1-3 meters) with sandy and seagrass-covered bottom, making it suitable primarily for light-wind conditions and beginners. The protected lagoon setting provides calm water relative to the open sea beyond the barrier, with waves generally minimal. The spot's northeast-facing orientation suggests side-shore winds from the northwest (315°) would be ideal for safe kitesurfing. However, the lagoon's very low wind reliability (11.9%) and minimal average wave height (0.69m) indicate this is fundamentally a light-wind, flat-water location. The shallow depth, vegetation, visible boat traffic, and scattered rocky obstacles require careful navigation. This spot suits absolute beginners and those practicing in minimal wind, but experienced kiters seeking progression would find conditions limiting. The narrow entrance channel and protected nature mean conditions are highly dependent on whether the lagoon or outer waters are being used.
