Pollença

Pollença Bay is a sheltered Mediterranean bay on Mallorca's northeastern coast, characterized by shallow protected waters and extensive mudflat systems. The bay opens toward the northeast, with the sandy beach and residential area forming the eastern boundary. The shallow lagoon environment with visible vegetation makes this a specialized spot requiring understanding of bottom conditions. Best conditions arrive with southeasterly winds (140-180°) that align side-shore along the coastline. The extremely low wind reliability (3.8%) and modest average wind speeds (5.3 knots) mean sessions are infrequent. Wave heights remain minimal (0.66m average), limiting progression potential. This spot suits beginners and intermediate kiters seeking flat-water practice in protected conditions. Key considerations include monitoring tide changes that significantly affect water depth and usable area, avoiding shallow mudflat zones, and respecting the limited wind window. Water temperature of 18.7°C suggests seasonal thermal variations. The proximity to developed areas requires awareness of local regulations and beach access restrictions.
