Vilassar de Mar

Vilassar de Mar is a small sandy beach on the Catalan coast facing southeastward into the Mediterranean. The spot is characterized by gentle, protected conditions with consistent small waves under 0.6m and minimal swell. This densely populated residential area means regular beach usage and swimming activity, requiring careful navigation. The beach benefits from a gradual sandbars approach, making it accessible for beginners learning body-dragging and basic tricks. However, the extremely low wind reliability (1.8%) and weak average winds (5.3 knots) mean sessions are infrequent and light-wind technique is essential. Side-shore northeasterly winds work best here. The spot suits absolute beginners and those seeking flat-water practice rather than progression. The shallow, protected nature minimizes power and intensity - this is fundamentally a training beach rather than a dynamic riding spot. Proximity to town infrastructure offers convenience but increases crowd and safety considerations.
