About This Spot
KM90 is located on Spain's southern Atlantic coast near the Strait of Gibraltar, featuring a complex estuary and delta system with extensive shallow water zones and multiple river channels. The coastline orientation toward the northwest creates a natural funnel toward open water. This spot operates as a protected beach break with variable conditions due to tidal influences and shallow banks. Wind reliability is modest at 23.8%, with average winds around 9 knots—marginal for kitesurfing but workable during stronger systems. Wave heights average under 1 meter, indicating sheltered conditions suitable for beginners and skill development. The delta environment provides natural obstacles requiring local knowledge of channel positions and tidal cycles. Best conditions occur with northeasterly winds providing side-shore coverage. The shallow estuary makes this spot suitable for progression riders and those developing board control skills in forgiving water. Tidal timing significantly affects usable water depth and current strength. Access and launch points should be confirmed locally due to changing geography.
Hazards & Safety
Shallow sandbanks and tidal flats visible at shore
Complex estuary currents from multiple river channels
Tidal range effects in shallow water areas
Possible seagrass beds in shallow zones
Shifting sandbars typical of delta environments
