Sant Joan

Sant Joan is a developed Mediterranean beach break located on the Spanish coast near Alicante, facing east toward open water. The spot features a sandy beach with consistent shallow water conditions suitable for beginner progression. The surrounding area is heavily developed with resort infrastructure, hotels, and residential buildings, indicating this is a popular tourist destination with regular beach activity. Wave conditions are minimal with 0.60m average swell, making this primarily a light wind spot. The extremely low wind reliability of 1.9% means consistent kiteable conditions occur rarely. Side-shore winds from the north (0°) or south (180°) would be ideal for safety, though north winds are more typical for this region. The shallow, protected water and minimal waves make this suitable for beginners and those practicing light-wind techniques, but the crowded beach environment and low wind frequency limit its appeal as a dedicated kitesurfing destination. Water temperature averages 19.7°C, requiring seasonal consideration. Best conditions occur in shoulder seasons when wind patterns are more favorable.
