About This Spot
Lo Pagán El Molino is a shallow lagoon situated on Spain's southeastern Mediterranean coast, sheltered from open ocean exposure by a narrow barrier beach. The lagoon faces west toward the Atlantic influences, with the town occupying the western shoreline and agricultural fields dominating the eastern landscape. The protected shallow waters and mooring infrastructure indicate this is primarily a recreational boating and aquaculture area rather than a dedicated kite spot. Best wind direction is northerly (0°), arriving side-shore parallel to the western coastline. The extremely low wind reliability (6.8%) and minimal wave development (0.51m average) make consistent kitesurfing challenging. Water conditions are typically flat, requiring sustained wind to generate usable swell. The abundant moored boats and aquaculture operations present significant obstacles. This spot suits only experienced kiters capable of managing tight spaces and variable conditions, or those willing to visit repeatedly for rare strong wind windows. Beginner progression is not recommended due to hazards and lack of suitable wave development for learning.
Hazards & Safety
