Historical averages by month — not a live forecast.
The spot of Es Barcarés in Mallorca benefits from a mainly onshore wind coming from the north or northwest, creating a stable and calm water state. The launch is directly from the sandy beach, which is quite narrow, so you need to hurry to get out after takeoff to leave space for others. The navigation area extends over a large bay with a standing area in the first 50 meters, perfect for waterstarts and jibes.
Takeoff is done on the beach, be careful to choose a clear space as the setup area is limited. Once on the water, the water state is flat to light chop depending on the wind strength, with few waves even in strong winds. The best areas are in the center of the bay to avoid crowded edges with swimmers in season. Tides have little impact here, but always check the timings for the beach.
Local feature: the spot is sheltered by the bay of Pollença, making the wind stable and gradual, ideal for freestyle or foil. Schools like Kite Mallorca offer rentals and lessons on-site, with recent gear.
