About This Spot
Mazagón is a sheltered beach break located on Spain's Atlantic coast in Huelva province, featuring a sandy beach backed by pine forests and dunes. The spot faces northeast into the Atlantic with a gentle slope, making it suitable for progression. Water conditions are typically mild with small waves averaging 0.51m and light swell characteristics. Wind reliability is low at 4.1%, with average winds of 6.4 knots, suggesting this spot requires specific wind conditions to be viable. Northwest winds provide optimal side-shore conditions for safe kitesurfing. The shallow, gradually sloping beach with sandy bottom makes this accessible for beginners when wind is present. The natural forest backdrop and limited development indicate a quieter, less crowded environment. Key considerations include monitoring tidal changes that affect water depth and potential current patterns, and timing sessions when wind conditions align with the prevailing northwest direction. The spot's low wind reliability means sessions should be planned around forecast windows.
