Los Escullos

Los Escullos is a small beach break located on Spain's Almería coast, facing east toward the Mediterranean Sea. The spot features a narrow sandy beach backed by white limestone cliffs and rocky outcrops that characterize the Cabo de Gata-Níjar natural park. Water conditions are typically choppy with small waves averaging 0.75m, reflecting the limited fetch and exposure to prevailing winds. The beach is accessible via a coastal road that runs directly behind the break, providing convenient access but indicating moderate development pressure. Wind reliability is low at 16.4%, with light average winds of 7.9 knots suggesting this spot works best during specific seasonal wind patterns. The exposed rocks and limestone formations present navigation hazards, particularly in shallow areas. This spot suits beginners and intermediate kiters seeking a sheltered, manageable beach break in calm conditions. Best winds are from the north (side-shore), though conditions are generally light year-round. The scenic natural park setting and proximity to amenities make it an accessible option for learning, though consistent wind conditions should not be expected.
