About This Spot
Playa Carabasí is a sheltered beach break located on Spain's southeastern Mediterranean coast, facing east toward open water. The spot features a shallow lagoon system with scattered seagrass beds and sandbars, typical of this coastal region. Urban development borders the beach to the west, with residential areas and infrastructure visible in the satellite imagery.
This location suits beginners due to minimal wave energy and protected conditions. The shallow water and lagoon dynamics create a forgiving learning environment, though these same features limit progression potential. Best conditions occur with northerly winds creating side-shore conditions parallel to the coast. However, the extremely low wind reliability (2.9%) and light average swells (0.55m) mean this spot works only during favorable seasonal windows or when regional weather patterns deliver consistent breeze.
Kiters should expect minimal swell contribution and should plan sessions around wind forecasts rather than swell. Water temperatures average 19°C, requiring seasonal consideration. The proximity to developed areas and visible seagrass warrant attention to local regulations and environmental conditions before launching.
