Wind Days = % of days with 12–35 knot average wind speed (ideal kiting conditions). Based on 4 years of historical weather data.
Partially sheltered coastline with moderate, varied conditions
Shooting Gallery is located on the western coast of an island off Spain, facing a protected bay with modest fetch distance. The spot consists of sandy beach and shallow bay waters bordered by rocky headlands. A developed settlement occupies the southern peninsula, creating wind obstruction. The bay configuration provides some wave dampening, resulting in small average swell (1.65m). Wind reliability is low at 30.2%, suggesting inconsistent conditions typical of sheltered bays. Side-shore wind from the north works best, requiring patience for consistent sessions. The spot suits intermediate kiters seeking lighter wind conditions or learners wanting reduced swell and contained water. Rough water conditions indicate chop and variable flow. Exercise caution near the rocky outcrops at bay entrance and the developed area's structures. Low wind days require waiting for thermal sea breezes or weather systems. The protected nature makes this suitable for skill progression but limiting for wave riding.
