Wind on the beach
Two different spots depending on the wind.
- Poniente from the west is side-onshore to onshore and accounts for roughly 40% of days.
- Levante from the east is side-offshore to offshore and accounts for about 50%.
- South (onshore, choppy) and north (side-shore) make up around 5% each.
What the spot record warns about
- strong gusty Levante wind
- crowded water in peak summer
- occasional rocky patches toward the north end
- rip current risk in large swell
- Strong, gusty Levante with cross-off/offshore drift risk
- Crowded water and beach in June-August high season
