Flag Beach

Flag Beach is located on the eastern coast of Gran Canaria, Spain, featuring a curved sandy shoreline with shallow turquoise waters. The beach faces northwest toward the Atlantic, with a gently sloping sandy bottom typical of protected island beaches. The water shows varying depths with shallow lagoon-like conditions near shore transitioning to deeper water offshore. This spot functions as a beach break with moderate wave exposure. With average winds of 10.2 knots and only 30.2% reliability, conditions are inconsistent and often marginal for kitesurfing. The shallow water and gentle slope make this suitable for beginners when wind conditions align, though sessions require northeast winds for optimal side-shore conditions. The relatively calm average wave height of 1.65m indicates protected conditions, making this a learning-friendly environment. Kiters should be aware of low wind frequency and plan visits during seasonal wind patterns. The curved beach topology means wind direction quality varies by location along the shore.
