Pals

Pals is a beach break located on the Costa Brava in northeastern Spain, facing east toward the Mediterranean Sea. The spot features a sandy beach backed by a shallow lagoon system with marshland, providing protected waters ideal for progression. The beach is part of a developed coastal area with residential communities, necessitating awareness of local usage patterns. The shallow lagoon creates forgiving conditions suitable for beginners and intermediate kiters, though water consistency varies with tidal and seasonal changes. The east-facing orientation means northerly or southerly winds provide optimal side-shore conditions. Current wind data shows limited reliability (6.4%), suggesting seasonal variability typical of Mediterranean locations. Small average wave height (0.77m) indicates this is primarily a flat-water training environment rather than a wave-riding destination. The rough-chop water texture suggests variable conditions. Moderate water temperatures (16.7°C) require seasonal consideration for wetsuit needs. Best suited for beginners seeking protected waters and intermediate kiters refining technique. Check local regulations regarding beach access and respect swimmer zones, particularly during summer months.
