Playa América

Playa América is a developed beach break located on the Atlantic coast of Spain in Galicia, facing northwest toward open ocean. The spot consists of a sandy beach backed by dense residential development, with a clear distinction between the sheltered bay area to the north and more exposed waters to the south. The coastline orientation allows for side-shore winds from the northeast or southwest. Water conditions are typically rough with average waves of 1.88m, suitable for developing technique rather than progressive riding. This is primarily a beginner spot due to shallow water near the beach and limited exposure to consistent swell. Wind reliability is extremely low at 3.9%, making sessions unpredictable. Water temperature averages 15.7°C, requiring thermal protection. The residential proximity means limited undeveloped space and potential congestion during favorable conditions. Best suited for local kiters looking for mellow practice sessions during rare favorable wind windows, particularly with northeast winds providing side-shore conditions.
