About This Spot
Pobla Farnals is a sheltered beach-break location on the Mediterranean coast of Spain, situated north of Valencia. The spot faces northeast with protection from a marina infrastructure to the north, creating a semi-enclosed beach environment. The shallow lagoon-like conditions with visible sandbars and relatively calm water make this location accessible for beginners, though conditions are inherently light. Wind reliability is extremely low at 3.4%, with very modest average wind speeds of 5.9 knots, indicating this is a marginal kitesurfing destination that requires specific weather windows. The best wind direction is from the northwest (315°), which provides side-shore conditions parallel to the northeast-facing beach. Water temperatures average 18.6°C, suitable for wetsuits. The persistent light conditions and shallow water favor riders developing board control skills. Strong currents near the marina area should be avoided. This spot is most viable during seasonal wind events rather than as a consistent daily resource.
