Port de Pollença
Spain · Îles Baléares
Port de Pollença, located in the north of Mallorca in the Balearic Islands, is a kitesurfing spot in a sheltered bay with views of the mountains. It is a popular place for learners due to its shallow water and calm atmosphere.
The lively port is next to an accessible beach where locals come to ride when the thermal wind picks up in the afternoon. There are kite schools and webcams to check the conditions live.
Ideal for combining kite sessions and walks in the surrounding nature, this spot remains quiet outside of high season.
Historical averages by month — not a live forecast.
The spot of Port de Pollença mainly works with onshore winds from NE or NW, typical of the thermal of the bay of Pollensa which rises between 12pm and 6pm in season. Launching is done directly from the beach or the port area, with a slightly narrow rigging area so it's important to store your gear well between sessions.
The riding area is wide with a large standing area in shallow water, perfect for learning kitesurfing or foiling. The water is generally flat to light chop with small waves if the wind is weak, and tides do not impact much given the bay's configuration.
For launching, prefer clear spaces near Sa Marina or Alcudia nearby, and watch the direction: NE 15-25 knots is ideal for riding safely without risking going offshore.
