Wind Days = % of days with 12–35 knot average wind speed (ideal kiting conditions). Based on 4 years of historical weather data.
Waves breaking on sandy bottom, varied conditions
Los Enanos is a beach break located on the northern coast of Gran Canaria, Spain, facing directly north toward the Atlantic Ocean. The spot sits along a developed coastal area with residential properties, roads, and some agricultural land inland. The beach offers consistent conditions with an average wave height of 1.66m and average wind speed of 7.6 knots, though wind reliability is relatively low at 4.3%. The coastline shows clear wave patterns and structured channels typical of beach breaks. Ideal wind direction for side-shore conditions is from the east (90°), which provides optimal kite control while maintaining safe offshore characteristics. This spot suits beginners and intermediate kiters due to manageable wave heights and relatively protected conditions created by the coastal configuration. Water temperature averages 20.9°C, suitable for year-round activity with appropriate wetsuits. Key considerations include navigating shallow areas near shore, being aware of urban proximity, and timing sessions during higher wind periods given the inconsistent wind reliability at this location.
