About This Spot
Ses Salines is a small bay located on the Spanish coast with clear turquoise water and sandy beaches backed by Mediterranean forest. The bay faces south with rocky headlands framing both sides, creating a sheltered environment. Water conditions are typically very calm with minimal swell due to the protected nature of the bay. The presence of moored boats indicates recreational use and popularity with tourists. Wind reliability is notably low at 6.6%, suggesting this location experiences inconsistent conditions. Best wind direction is easterly (side-shore), which provides safe offshore-to-onshore wind flow parallel to the beach. The shallow, clear water and minimal wave development make this spot suitable for beginners and those practicing light-wind techniques. Kiters should be aware of boat traffic, respect mooring areas, and check local regulations. The limited fetch prevents significant wave building, making this location better suited for flat-water freestyle practice than wave riding. Low average wind speeds require patience and selective session timing.
Hazards & Safety
Moored boats in shallow water
Rocky outcrops along southern shoreline
Limited fetch - enclosed bay limits wave development
Shallow water near beach (visible light sand)
Dense forest vegetation reduces wind acceleration in certain directions
