About This Spot
Punta Molins is a sheltered bay located on Spain's Mediterranean coast, facing northeast toward the water. The spot is characterized by a crescent-shaped sandy beach bordered by residential development and backed by agricultural land. Rocky headlands frame the bay entrance on both sides, creating a natural amphitheater that focuses wind but also limits fetch. The bay offers protected conditions suitable for beginners and light-wind practitioners, with typical wave heights under 0.5m. Best conditions occur with northwesterly or westerly winds that approach side-shore. The extremely low wind reliability (1.5%) and average wind speed of only 5.3 knots indicate this is a marginal spot requiring patience and favorable seasonal patterns. The shallow bay waters and nearby obstacles make this unsuitable for advanced freestyle or wave riding. Most suitable for novice kiters practicing light-wind technique, though consistent sessions may be rare. Proximity to built-up areas means respect for local regulations and potential crowding during optimal conditions.
