About This Spot
Sabón is a small beach break located on the northern coast of Spain in Galicia, situated between rocky coastal features and an industrial area. The spot faces northwest toward open Atlantic waters but with limited fetch due to nearby landmass orientation. The beach offers relatively protected conditions compared to more exposed coastal areas. Wind reliability is notably low at 4.2%, indicating inconsistent conditions. Average wave heights of 1.47m suggest mostly small, manageable conditions suitable for beginners. The water temperature averages 15°C, requiring a wetsuit year-round. Side-shore winds from the northeast provide safe kitesurfing conditions. The presence of visible industrial infrastructure suggests moderate water quality considerations. The spot's proximity to shallow areas and rocky outcrops requires careful navigation during entry and exit. Best suited for beginner kiters seeking mellow, protected conditions in light winds. Not recommended during storm systems or when larger swells approach from the Atlantic.
