San Xurxo

San Xurxo is a beach break located on the Galician coast of northwest Spain, facing northwest toward the Atlantic Ocean. The spot features a sandy beach flanked by forested headlands and characterized by shallow nearshore waters with visible sandbars. This is a small, sheltered beach with limited open water exposure, suitable primarily for lighter wind conditions and beginner progression. The extremely low wind reliability (7.6%) and modest average wind speed (6.5 knots) indicate this is not a consistent kitesurfing destination. Wave heights average 1.76m, providing small, manageable conditions. Best conditions occur with northeast winds providing side-shore flow parallel to the coast. The rough water type suggests frequent small-scale turbulence from sandbars and shallow bathymetry. Visible rocky features and the confined beach setting present obstacles requiring careful launching and landing. This spot suits beginners seeking small waves and light winds, but consistency issues make it unreliable for regular practice or progression training.
