Location
Detailed information
The beach mainly works with a side-on to side-shore wind depending on the day's orientation, allowing for fairly comfortable navigation when the wind comes well into the bay of Torremolinos. The water surface is generally cleaner with light wind and becomes more affected by chop when swells or wind rise, which corresponds to the profile of the exposed beaches of the Costa del Sol.
Launching is done from the beach, with a take-off area to be organized properly as the sector can quickly fill up in season. It is important to keep space for rigging and launching, especially during peak hours, as the beach remains frequented by other users. The spot is more relevant when the sea is regular and there is enough margin to leave and return without stress.
The functioning varies according to the tide, but the spot generally remains exploitable for a large part of the cycle as the coast is little uncovered and one maintains a comfortable navigation area. When the sea is more formed, it is necessary to monitor gusts and keep a margin offshore to avoid returning too close to the shore in the chop or short waves.
