Estany des Peix

Estany des Peix is a coastal lagoon located on Mallorca's eastern shore, facing northeast toward open water. The lagoon is sheltered by a barrier beach and sandy areas, creating a protected but confined body of water. The surrounding landscape shows significant residential and agricultural development, with a main road running along the eastern shore. This is a protected lagoon environment rather than open water, making it suitable for beginners due to limited wave exposure and contained area. However, the spot presents challenges: very low wind reliability at 18.2% means conditions are marginal most days, and numerous moored boats indicate active recreational use requiring navigation awareness. The shallow nature of the lagoon suits progression but limits wave potential. Best conditions occur with northwest to north winds providing side-shore conditions. The small fetch and enclosed nature mean this spot is most appropriate for light-wind practice and beginner skill development rather than progression. Riders should check local regulations regarding boat traffic and respect the active mooring field.
