Cala Martina
Espagne · Balearic Islands
Cala Martina, in Ibiza, is a spot appreciated by local riders for its easy access and shallow waters. The setting is quite calm off-season, with a laid-back atmosphere for kiting without too many constraints.
The spot is well-suited for kitesurfers looking for an accessible body of water and a convenient launch area. In summer, the crowds make access much more complicated, but outside of this period, Cala Martina remains a classic on the island.
Historical averages by month — not a live forecast.
At Cala Martina, the wind mainly works in side-shore to side-on from the SW, S, and SSW, with an interesting orientation for navigating along the beach. Sources describe a spot that is quite suitable for all levels, with a launch generally possible on a small beach when it is not congested by tourists or boats.
The water is most often in chop, with sometimes small waves when the wind picks up well. The navigation area remains quite short, and it is important to keep an eye on the available space for takeoff and landing, which is limited. However, the bottom is favorable for reassuring navigation near the shore, especially when conditions are clean and the swell does not come in too much.
The spot is mainly exploitable outside of the high season, as the beach is very crowded in summer and access for kiting from the sand becomes very constrained. Off-season, you can enjoy a simple spot, with a practical water entry on the right when looking at the sea.
