Platja s'Arenal

Platja s'Arenal is a sandy beach break located on the northeastern coast of an island, facing northwest toward the Mediterranean. The beach is characterized by fine sand with dispersed rocky elements and backed by dense pine forest. The shallow approach and sandy bottom make this spot suitable for beginners, offering protection from larger swells. Water conditions are calm with minimal wave activity, driven primarily by light and unreliable winds. The prevailing northwestern winds suggest northeast winds (45°) as the optimal side-shore direction for kitesurfing. However, the spot's low wind reliability (18.6%) and weak average wind speed (8.6 knots) present significant challenges for consistent sessions. The proximity of forest vegetation and scattered rocks requires careful navigation during entry and exit. The moderate water temperature (19.8°C) necessitates seasonal adjustments. This location suits beginners seeking protected, shallow-water practice conditions during periods of adequate wind. Kiters should exercise caution with rocky hazards and be prepared for extended flat-wind periods.
