Sa Ràpita

Sa Ràpita is a sheltered bay located on the southeastern coast of Mallorca, Spain. The spot comprises a crescent-shaped beach fronting a protected bay with moderate depth. The coastline faces southeast into relatively shallow waters, bordered by dense pine forests and residential development. This bay offers protection from larger ocean swells, making conditions more predictable but limited in size. The presence of a marina with significant boat traffic constrains the usable area. Wind reliability is low at 8%, reflecting the sheltered nature and terrain influences from surrounding forests. Average conditions show minimal swell (0.71m) and moderate winds (6.8 knots), suggesting this functions best during stronger wind events. Side-shore winds from the northeast provide optimal conditions. The spot suits beginners and intermediate kiters seeking flat to choppy water with minimal wave riding potential. Key considerations include respecting boat traffic, monitoring shallow areas, and assessing wind consistency before committing. Summer thermal winds may provide more reliable conditions than seasonal patterns suggest.
