About This Spot
Torreguadiaro is a sheltered bay located on Spain's Costa del Sol, characterized by a northeastern-facing coastline with a well-developed marina complex in the southern section. The spot comprises both open bay waters and a shallow lagoon system, providing protected conditions suitable for learning. The marina's extensive mooring field and breakwater structures create defined boundaries and wind shadow effects. Average conditions show low wind reliability (4.0%) and minimal wave development (0.59m), indicating this is primarily a flat-water destination. Water temperatures average 18.9°C year-round, requiring seasonal wetsuit consideration. Northwest winds (315°) provide the most favorable side-shore approach parallel to the coast. The spot's primary value lies in its accessibility and protected nature rather than wave quality. Suitable primarily for beginners and intermediate riders seeking calm conditions and minimal swell. Kiters should exercise caution regarding boat traffic within the marina, respect no-go zones around moored vessels, and be aware of shallow areas that may limit maneuverability. Wind reliability remains a significant limiting factor for consistent session planning.
