Sancti Petri

Sancti Petri is a shallow lagoon system located on Spain's Cádiz coast, protected by a sandy barrier beach. The spot features extensive aquaculture operations divided by earthen embankments, creating a highly compartmentalized water environment. The lagoon faces northwest toward open water, with the beach running northeast-southwest. Best winds come from the northeast (45°), providing side-shore conditions parallel to the beach. This location suits beginners and intermediate riders seeking flat-water progression in protected conditions. The extremely shallow depth (typically under 2 meters) reduces injury risk from falls and allows easy foot contact with bottom. However, the low average wind speed of 7.8 knots with minimal reliability (15.8%) means conditions are marginal for kitesurfing most days. The aquaculture infrastructure restricts movement and requires awareness of operational areas. Wave height averages just 1 meter, confirming this is a flat-water training environment rather than a wave-riding destination. Access may be limited due to commercial operations.
