Puerto de Alcudia is a protected bay on Mallorca's northeastern coast, characterized by a long sandy beach and shallow approach. The bay orientation runs southwest to northeast, with the coastline facing northeast toward relatively calm waters. This is a sheltered bay environment with significant marina infrastructure visible on both the northern and southern shores, indicating consistent boat activity.
The shallow, protected waters make this suitable primarily for beginners and early intermediate kiters. Wave energy is minimal due to the bay's protection, with average waves of 0.66m. Wind reliability is very low at 3.5%, suggesting this location typically experiences light and inconsistent thermal breezes rather than sustained wind patterns. Best wind direction for side-shore conditions is southeast (approximately 135°), which would provide parallel flow along the beach.
This spot is most suitable for light-wind progression and flat-water freestyle practice rather than wave riding. Kiters should be aware of marina traffic, respect the busy boat corridors, and avoid the mooring fields. The shallow nearshore zone requires attention during launch and landing phases.
