About This Spot
Playa Lisa is a shallow lagoon system on Spain's southeastern Mediterranean coast, characterized by extensive salt production ponds and light-swell conditions. The spot faces east toward the open water, with the lagoon separated from the sea by barrier beaches and dikes. The protected nature of this lagoon creates very small waves (0.55m average) and minimal fetch, making it suitable only for light-wind conditions. Wind reliability is extremely low at 3.9%, with average winds of 6.1 knots—marginal for kitesurfing. Best conditions occur with northerly winds providing side-shore flow parallel to the coastline. The shallow, protected waters and minimal wave action make this a beginner-friendly environment when wind is present, though riders should expect flat-water freestyle or light-wind wave conditions. The area's industrial salt production infrastructure creates a working environment with boat traffic and embankments that require awareness. Water temperature averages 19.3°C. This spot is best suited for progression riders seeking flat-water practice in controlled conditions, though consistent sessions are challenging due to low wind frequency.
