About This Spot
Torrenueva is a sandy beach break located on Spain's Mediterranean coast facing southwest toward open water. The spot sits within a developed coastal area with dense residential construction immediately inland, limiting infrastructure options. The bay configuration provides some shelter but results in minimal wave generation, with average swell heights of only 0.57 meters. Water conditions are generally light, characteristic of Mediterranean beach environments. Wind statistics show extremely poor reliability at 2.6% with average speeds around 5 knots—insufficient for kitesurfing in most cases. The shallow sandbars visible in the imagery suggest progressive depth, making it potentially suitable for absolute beginners when wind does occur, though the infrequent conditions make this unreliable for planning sessions. Side-shore winds from the northwest (315°) would be ideal when they occur. The residential setting means launching and landing infrastructure may be limited. This spot functions primarily as a beach break during rare favorable wind windows rather than a consistently rideable destination.
Hazards & Safety
Residential proximity - beach heavily developed with housing
Shallow water near shore - visible sandbars and limited depth
Low wind reliability - only 2.6% means conditions rarely suitable
Small wave exposure - 0.57m average waves insufficient for most kiters
Possible recreational boat traffic in bay area
Rocky breakwater structures near southern beach section
