The Playa del Trabucador is a long beach of 6.5 km located in the Delta del Ebro, in Sant Carles de la Ràpita in Catalonia. It is a wild and natural kitesurfing spot, perfect for riding on both sides of the beach, with a peaceful atmosphere surrounded by dunes and the biosphere reserve.
There are areas dedicated to beginners, where the water remains shallow over a long distance, making learning safe and easy. Kitesurfing schools are established here and offer courses year-round.
Close to Amposta, this spot attracts riders for its unrestricted navigation and its proximity to restaurants serving local rice and seafood.

Location
Detailed information
The Trabucador beach generally faces east-west, with a protected inner lagoon on the west side and open sea on the east side. The dominant south wind (S) from April to September comes offshore from the lagoon, creating a flat to light chop water surface ideal for beginners and progression. From October to March, the stronger north wind (N) comes onshore from the sea, suitable for experienced riders with a bit more possible waves.
Launching is easy on the sand, with designated areas for schools and beginners in the lagoon where you can stand for a long time. The launch area is wide and obstacle-free, you can ride freely on both sides but remain cautious near the rio Ebro which separates Trabucador from Riumar. No annual restrictions, free parking nearby, but no showers on site unlike Riumar.
The water surface varies little with the tides due to the shallow depth of the lagoon, but be careful near the small adjacent lagoons close to the mouth where the water does not exceed 1 m in places. Schools like Delta Kite or La Central del Kite manage the areas to avoid conflicts.
