La Murtra

La Murtra is a sandy beach located on the Catalonian coast near Barcelona, Spain, facing southward toward the Mediterranean Sea. The spot features a wide, relatively sheltered beach backed by forested terrain and agricultural land. Access is facilitated by the nearby A-7 highway, though this proximity creates noise and visual impact. The beach break characteristics provide gentle conditions suitable for beginners and intermediate riders. Best wind conditions occur from easterly directions (90°), which provide side-shore winds parallel to the coastline. Water conditions are generally light with minimal swell (0.63m average) and low wind reliability suggests this is a marginal spot that requires patience for rideable conditions. The spot suits beginners and those seeking flat-water practice, though the consistently weak wind statistics indicate it may not be reliable for regular progression training. Kiters should be aware of the rocky sections along the shoreline and plan entries/exits carefully to avoid shallow areas and obstacles.
