The beach is wide and shallow at the edge, ideal for progressing safely.
Historical averages by month — not a live forecast.
The Platja Muro spot mainly works with an onshore wind coming from the NE, thanks to the famous thermal embat that rises every day between 12 PM and 6 PM from April to October. This moderate sea breeze, often between 10 and 15 knots, rises to 20-25 knots in the afternoon, perfect for riding in the bay of Alcúdia.
Launching is done directly from the sandy beach, but the space for takeoff is a bit narrow, so you need to get out quickly to avoid the crowd. The first 50 meters are in shallow water where you can stand, ideal for beginners wanting to waterstart. Then, the navigation area opens wide in the bay, with a dedicated channel to go into deep water via inflatable boat if needed.
The water surface is generally flat to chop with few waves in light wind, and a bit more choppy when the wind picks up. Be cautious of swimmers in high season, stay in the authorized kite zone for a smooth ride.
