Platja de la Patacona
Spain · Communauté Valencienne
The Plage de la Patacona, located in Alboraya north of Valencia, is a long stretch of fine white sand bordered by a lively promenade with restaurants and kiosks. It is a popular spot for locals due to its proximity to the city and its family-friendly atmosphere, away from the tourist hustle of the central Valencia beaches.
It particularly attracts kitesurfing enthusiasts in winter, spring, and autumn, when the wind picks up strength. In summer, the beach is crowded with bathers, which requires caution when navigating.
Close to Port Saplaya, nicknamed the little Venice, it offers a convenient urban setting with parking and services at hand.
Historical averages by month — not a live forecast.
Plage de la Patacona faces east, which means the Tramontane (N) wind blows side-on, perfect for kitesurfing, especially from late summer to spring. The Poniente (O) wind comes side-shore and the Mistral (NO) as well, making the spot versatile for multiple directions.
The navigation area is wide and long, with a large launch and landing area on this expansive sandy beach. The water surface features chop and small waves, regardless of tides which do not influence conditions here.
In winter, the wind is more consistent and offshore for surfing, but for kiting, one must remain vigilant in crowded areas. The best months are from April to October, with sessions possible year-round if the wind cooperates.
