About This Spot
Guardamar is a beach break located on Spain's Costa Blanca, where a sandy coastline faces east toward the Mediterranean Sea. The spot features a protected beach setting with developed areas immediately adjacent to the water. The seafront is characterized by shallow sandbars and light swell conditions typical of the Mediterranean coast. Wind reliability is notably poor at 3.9%, with average winds of only 6.1 knots, making consistent sessions challenging. Best conditions occur with northerly winds (0°) which create side-shore conditions parallel to the beach. Average wave heights of 0.55m indicate small, rolling swell suitable for progression rather than advanced maneuvers. The spot is most appropriate for beginners seeking flat-water practice or light-wind sessions. Kiters should be aware of shallow water close to shore, marked beach infrastructure, and the need to position themselves away from populated swimming areas. Water temperature averaging 19.3°C requires a spring suit in winter months. This location is best suited for early morning sessions when wind conditions may be slightly more favorable.
