About This Spot
Los Monteros is a developed coastal resort area on Spain's Costa del Sol facing southwest toward the Mediterranean. The spot features a sandy beach break with moderate wave exposure and consistent light swell patterns averaging 0.57m. The area is characterized by extensive residential and commercial development immediately backing the shoreline, which significantly constrains suitable launch and landing areas for kitesurfing. The coastline orientation toward the southwest makes northwesterly winds (around 315°) the ideal side-shore direction for safe operations. Wind reliability at 0.4% indicates very light and inconsistent wind conditions, making this spot suitable primarily during seasonal wind events rather than regular sessions. The shallow nearshore waters and developed beach infrastructure suggest this location is best suited for beginner to early intermediate riders who prefer sheltered conditions and easy water access. Water temperatures around 19.8°C require minimal thermal protection during warmer months. Kiters should note the limited space for maneuvers due to residential proximity and should check local regulations regarding beach access and water sports zones.
