Malgrat

Malgrat is a Mediterranean beach break located on the Catalonian coast facing south toward open water. The spot features a sandy beach with significant urban development and infrastructure immediately behind the shoreline, including a developed promenade and various facilities. Wave conditions are minimal with an average height of 0.56m, making this primarily a light-wind spot suitable for progression rather than performance. The beach is heavily utilized by recreational swimmers and tourists, limiting the practical riding area. Wind reliability is extremely poor at 0.4%, indicating this location rarely receives consistent conditions for kitesurfing. Best conditions occur with easterly winds (90°) providing side-shore coverage. The spot suits beginners and those seeking flat-water practice in a protected setting, though the shallow water and crowded beach environment present challenges. Water temperatures average 16.6°C, requiring a wetsuit for extended sessions. This location is better suited to other water sports; dedicated kiters should seek more consistent nearby alternatives with better wind resources.
