Playa la Espasa

Playa la Espasa is a beach break located on Spain's northern coast facing north toward the Bay of Biscay. The spot features a wide sandy beach bounded by green pastoral farmland and residential development, with a major highway running parallel to the shore. The beach is characterized by moderate wave exposure and a gradual seabed, making it suitable for learning. Wind reliability is notably low at 3.2%, and average conditions are modest with 1.17m waves and 5.5 knots average wind. The spot faces north, making easterly winds (90°) the optimal side-shore direction for kitesurfing. Rocky features and shallow tidal zones on the beach require awareness during entry and exit. The proximity to populated areas and highway infrastructure means this location experiences human activity and potential visual obstruction. Best suited for beginner and early intermediate riders seeking a sheltered learning environment during favorable wind windows, typically requiring deliberate planning around the low-reliability wind statistics.
