About This Spot
La Caleta is a protected bay located on the southwestern coast of Spain near Cádiz. The spot faces southwest into the Atlantic, with a developed port on the eastern side and natural coastline extending northwest. The bay offers sheltered conditions compared to open ocean exposure, making it suitable for developing skills. Water conditions are generally mild with modest wave heights averaging 1.05m. The spot receives moderate wind (9.4 knots average) with relatively low reliability at 25.5%, suggesting seasonal or inconsistent conditions. Best wind direction is from the northwest, providing side-shore conditions that allow safe progression along the beach. The presence of port infrastructure, breakwaters, and significant urban development limits the spot's appeal for advanced riders seeking powerful conditions. Beginner and early intermediate kiters will find the protected bay conditions manageable, though wind consistency remains a limiting factor. Kiters should avoid the port area with active boat traffic and remain aware of rocky structures. Water temperature around 19°C is moderate year-round.
