Mosca Point

Mosca Point is a small bay located on the southern coast of Tenerife, Canary Islands, characterized by extensive agricultural greenhouse development extending to the shoreline. The bay faces northeast into open Atlantic waters, with a relatively sheltered configuration. The water transitions quickly from shallow nearshore areas to deeper ocean. This location offers consistent trade wind conditions typical of the Canary Islands, though the 52.2% wind reliability suggests variable conditions requiring monitoring. The spot suits beginner to early intermediate kiters due to manageable wave heights (0.81m average) and moderate wind speeds (12.8 knots average). The primary constraint is the heavily developed coastline with limited safe launch and landing areas, along with shallow water zones requiring careful navigation. The proximity of agricultural infrastructure means potential hazards from debris and limited space for maneuvers. Best wind approaches from the northwest, providing side-shore conditions. Kiters should be experienced with tight spaces and plan for limited wind window throughout the day given the average reliability metrics.
