Isla del Ciervo

Isla del Ciervo is a sheltered lagoon spot located on Spain's Mediterranean coast near Murcia. The site consists of shallow enclosed waters bordered by a sandy spit and backed by residential development and marina infrastructure. The rocky island at the lagoon entrance creates a natural breakwater, significantly reducing wave exposure and providing protection from ocean swell. Water conditions are typically flat to very small ripples, making this exclusively suitable for light-wind learning. The narrow entrance and moored boats indicate moderate boat traffic. With average wind of 7.8 knots and only 13.4% reliability, consistent conditions are rare. The lagoon's sheltered nature eliminates wave concerns but requires stronger wind to generate usable conditions. Best wind approaches from the northwest (315°), blowing parallel to the shore. This spot suits absolute beginners and light-wind specialists seeking protected, flat-water practice areas. Access appears limited to designated points near the marina. Strong water temperature stability and minimal swell make it ideal for skill development when adequate wind arrives.
