About This Spot
Los Alamos is a beach break located on Spain's southern Mediterranean coast facing east toward open water. The spot sits adjacent to developed resort and golf course infrastructure, with a highway running parallel to the shore. The sandy beach provides access to relatively shallow, sheltered waters with consistently light conditions. Wind reliability is extremely low at 0.9%, with average wind speeds of 4.8 knots insufficient for most kitesurfing sessions. Wave energy averages only 0.53m, indicating minimal swell exposure typical of lee-shore conditions. The spot is best suited for beginners during the rare occasions when wind picks up from the north (side-shore), though consistent sessions are unlikely. Primary constraints include limited wind reliability, weak swell exposure, and proximity to developed areas affecting accessibility and safety. This location is better suited for flat-water progression than wave riding. Kiters should expect frequent windless conditions and plan sessions during seasonal wind patterns rather than relying on consistent daily conditions.
Hazards & Safety
Golf course infrastructure and buildings near shore
Highway/major road close to beach access
Shallow nearshore waters
Low wave energy and minimal swell
Potential pedestrian traffic from resort/golf course
Limited fetch distance for wind development
