La Caleta

La Caleta is a lagoon-style kitesurfing spot located off the Spanish coast in the Atlantic. The lagoon is protected by a natural sand barrier with wave formations visible along the seaward edge, indicating shallow water and wave breaks. The protected nature of the spot makes it suitable for progression and skill-building rather than advanced wave riding. With average wind of 10.4 knots and moderate wave heights of 1.65m, conditions are generally mild. The side-shore wind direction from the northwest (315°) provides safe lateral wind across the lagoon. Water type classification as rough suggests occasional chop rather than clean swell. This spot suits beginner to early intermediate kiters due to shallow, contained water and relatively small wave exposure. Key considerations include monitoring water depth changes, respecting the wave break zone along the outer edge, and being aware of the low wind reliability of 32.3%, which means consistent wind days are limited. The sheltered lagoon environment minimizes strong currents but requires awareness of the shallow bottom.
