About This Spot
Los Genoveses is a sheltered bay on Spain's Mediterranean coast facing east toward open water. The spot features a sandy beach backed by agricultural land and scattered vegetation, with rocky formations visible along parts of the shoreline. This is a protected bay environment with relatively calm conditions, making it suitable primarily for light-wind kitesurfing. The average wind speed of 8.6 knots is marginal for most kitesurfing, and the low reliability (21.7%) indicates inconsistent conditions. Side-shore winds from the north or south would be ideal, with northerly winds being more favorable given typical Mediterranean wind patterns. Best conditions occur with consistent northerly winds that align parallel to the 90-degree beach orientation. The small average wave height (0.85m) and choppy water type suggest this spot is better suited for beginners or light-wind specialists. Kiters should be aware of shallow areas near the beach and avoid rocky sections. The inland agricultural activity may contribute to water quality variations. This spot requires patient wind monitoring and is best visited during periods of sustained northerly flow.
