About This Spot
Lo Pollo is a shallow lagoon located on Spain's southeastern coast (Murcia region), sheltered by coastal barriers and agricultural embankments. The spot consists of light-swell water with significant shallow zones, visible vegetation, and engineered structures including breakwaters. The lagoon's northeast-facing orientation makes it ideal for northwesterly winds (side-shore), which align with the prevailing conditions in this region. Water conditions are typically calm with minimal wave development due to the protected lagoon environment. This spot suits beginners and intermediate kiters seeking flat-water conditions and reduced wave impact. The shallow depth provides safety margins but requires awareness of underwater vegetation and shallow areas. Access is limited by surrounding agricultural land and infrastructure. Wind reliability is notably low at 6.1%, making session frequency unpredictable. Best conditions occur during autumn-winter months when northwesterly winds are more consistent. Riders should scout entry/exit points carefully and be mindful of the restrictive coastal development.
Hazards & Safety
Shallow water areas throughout lagoon
Vegetation and marsh obstacles visible in water
Breakwaters and dam structures
Dense agricultural development limiting access points
Potential for strong currents near dam outflow
Limited exit/entry zones due to infrastructure
