About This Spot
Punta del Moral is a beach break located on Spain's southern Atlantic coast where a river estuary meets open ocean waters. The northeast-facing beach provides a natural wind corridor along the shore. The spot features a wide sandy beach with a lagoon system to the north and deepwater channels visible in the tidal inlet. Shallow sandbars extend from shore, creating a progressive learning environment with gradual depth increase. The low average wind reliability (4.3%) and modest swell (0.43m) indicate this is primarily a light-wind, flat-water training destination rather than a wave-riding spot. Best conditions occur with northwest winds providing ideal side-shore flow. The temperate water (18.8°C) and gentle conditions suit beginners and those developing fundamental kitesurfing skills. Kiters should monitor tidal cycles affecting water depth and current strength, avoid the river channel traffic, and stay clear of the developed residential areas. Summer months likely offer more consistent thermal wind development.
Hazards & Safety
Shallow water and sandbars visible in lagoon area
Meanders and tidal channels in estuary system to north
Boat traffic in deeper water channels
Residential development restricting beach access
Possible strong tidal currents at river mouth interface
