About This Spot
Quebrantos is a beach break located on the northern coast of Spain near a small residential settlement. The spot features a sandy beach with man-made structures including a breakwater and pier that provide some protection but also create obstruction hazards. The coastline faces northwest toward the Atlantic, with the water body being open ocean with Atlantic swell exposure. Wave heights average 1.72m, making this suitable for beginners and progression riders. Wind reliability is low at 5.4%, indicating inconsistent conditions. Side-shore winds from the northeast (45°) or southwest (225°) would be ideal, though the northeast angle aligns better with typical Atlantic weather patterns. The spot suits beginner to early-intermediate kiters seeking smaller, forgiving waves. Key considerations include monitoring tide levels due to shallow areas, respecting the breakwater structure, and being aware that wind conditions are unreliable—sessions may require patience or flexibility in timing. The adjacent development limits the wind corridor and may affect local wind patterns.
