About This Spot
Gaspar is a sheltered bay located on Spain's southern Mediterranean coast, characterized by shallow turquoise waters protected by a curved sandy shoreline. The spot faces northeast into the bay, with land dominating the southern and eastern margins. The extensive beachfront is heavily developed with residential housing and light industrial infrastructure, indicating this is an established coastal town rather than a remote location.
This spot suits beginners and intermediate kiters due to sheltered bay conditions and shallow water depth, though marginal wind statistics suggest sessions are inconsistent. Best conditions occur with northwesterly winds providing side-shore coverage parallel to the coast. Water temperatures average 19°C, requiring seasonal wetsuits. The primary challenge is extremely low wind reliability at 5.2%, meaning viable kitesurfing days are rare. Modest wave heights (0.74m average) indicate this is primarily a flatwater or light-chop learning environment rather than a wave-riding destination. Access may be limited by residential development and public beach regulations.
