S'Illot

S'Illot is a small sheltered bay on the eastern coast of Mallorca, Spain, characterized by shallow turquoise waters and moderate reef development. The spot consists of a narrow beach strip backed by dense residential development, with the water body oriented northeast-southwest. The bay configuration provides natural protection but severely limits wind fetch and wave generation. Waters remain relatively flat with average swell of 0.69m and light conditions. The visible reef structures and rocky outcrops create hazardous areas for beginners, though the protected setting reduces danger from large waves or strong currents. Best conditions occur with southeasterly winds providing side-shore flow perpendicular to the northeast-facing beach. This spot suits beginner to early-intermediate kiters seeking calm, confined conditions with minimal power generation. Water temperature averages 18.8°C, requiring seasonal wetsuit use. The low wind reliability (5.4%) and modest average wind speed (6.2 knots) suggest sessions are infrequent and require careful timing. Space constraints and shallow hazards demand awareness of other water users and careful launch/landing procedures.
