About This Spot
Nerga is a small bay located on Spain's Atlantic coast in Galicia, characterized by a sandy beach backed by dense forest. The bay opens northwest toward the Atlantic, with rocky headlands protecting the southern approach. The spot features a relatively protected beach break with moderate sand coverage and visible rock formations at both flanks. Water conditions are typical for the Galician coast with rough seas and modest wave heights averaging 1.77m. The extremely low wind reliability (2.4%) and light average wind speeds (5.1 knots) make this an inconsistent kitesurfing destination. When winds do occur, they would require a northeasterly direction to approach side-shore conditions. The shallow nearshore waters and rocky obstacles suit only experienced riders comfortable with hazard navigation. The protected bay setting and forest backdrop suggest this spot works best as a fair-weather option during higher wind events, rather than a reliable training location. Best suited for local progression rather than destination kiting.
Hazards & Safety
Rocky outcrops and boulders along southern shoreline
Shallow rocky areas near headlands
Strong currents around rocky points
Limited wind reliability (2.4%)
Forest vegetation encroaching to shoreline limits landing zones
