What the spot record warns about

  • Tramuntana can be very strong and gusty when it blows hard - not a day for beginners
  • very busy launch areas near the main schools/campsites in peak summer
  • Tramuntana can be very strong and gusty and is not suitable for beginners when it is blowing hard.
  • Seasonal swimmer zones and kite channels change the usable launch area in summer; launching outside marked areas risks conflict or fines.
  • Crowded beach and launch traffic around the major campsites and schools in July and August.
  • Open Mediterranean bay conditions can become choppy or wavy in stronger wind despite the beginner reputation.
