About This Spot
Lengua de la Vaca is a sheltered lagoon system on Spain's Mediterranean coast, characterized by protected shallow waters and low energy conditions. The spot features a northeast-facing coastline with extensive residential development and agricultural areas adjacent to the water. The lagoon's enclosed nature provides natural windbreaks, making it ideal for light-wind practice and beginners. Water conditions are predominantly flat to very small waves due to limited fetch and protection from open ocean swells. Best conditions occur with northwest winds (315°) providing reliable side-shore angles. The relatively low wind reliability (13.4%) and modest average wind speed (7.8 knots) suggest this spot functions best on windier days or for progression-focused riders seeking flat-water conditions. The shallow lagoon bottom and proximity to developed areas require awareness of water quality and local traffic patterns. This location suits beginner to early intermediate kiters seeking protected learning conditions rather than wave riding.
