Mejillones

Mejillones is a coastal beach break located on Tenerife's northeastern shore, characterized by exposed sandy beaches interspersed with rocky formations. The spot faces northeast toward open Atlantic waters, providing direct ocean swell exposure. The shallow sandy approach and rock-studded coastline create variable conditions with potential for powerful shore break in certain conditions. This location suits intermediate kiters comfortable with rocky terrain and variable wind patterns. The low wind reliability (30.2%) and moderate average wind speed (10.2 knots) suggest conditions are inconsistent, requiring patience for suitable sessions. Average wave height of 1.79m indicates smaller swell, though rough water conditions suggest choppy seas from wind or conflicting swells. Northwesterly winds (310-330°) provide the most practical side-shore alignment. Kiters should launch from sandy pockets and maintain awareness of rock hazards. The exposed coastline offers limited shelter, making this less ideal for light-wind days. Best suited for experienced intermediate riders familiar with reef and rock hazards.
