About This Spot
Platja Migjorn Ca Marí is a sandy beach located on the southern coast of Formentera, facing south toward open Mediterranean waters. The spot features a long, relatively straight shoreline with moderate forest coverage inland and scattered rocky outcrops in the nearshore zone. The beach break setup provides gentle, consistent conditions suitable for beginners and light-wind practitioners. With average winds of only 8.6 knots and 18.4% reliability, this location is best suited for days with easterly (90°) or westerly (270°) winds that blow parallel to the coast, creating proper side-shore conditions. The light swell averaging 0.76m and shallow approach make this an ideal spot for learning and progressing skills in a forgiving environment. Water temperature averaging 19.8°C requires minimal thermal protection in warmer months. This spot works best during seasons with stronger easterly flows. Kiters should be prepared for extended periods of light wind and should monitor weather windows carefully. The proximity to shallow sandy areas and scattered rocks requires awareness of launch and landing zones.
